Abstract
In recent years a new score system for standardized tests has entered the scene. The new scores are called Normal Curve Equivalents (NCEs). They were named and introduced by G. Kasten Tallmadge. NCEs are used in reporting results to federal funding agencies. Some schools may use them internally in order to deal with only one kind of score from standardized tests. Several kinds of confusion are possible with NCE scores, and the following quiz and its explanations may help you avoid some of the pitfalls. The correct answers and brief explanations appear on page 3 1. This “test” may be reproduced without written permission. Please cite Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice as the source.
