Abstract
The attainments of ninth year migrant pupils whose sixth year assessment had been based on performance on the Ravens Progressive Matrices Test were found to be significantly lower than those of Australians of similar chronological age and intelligence level. Additionally, girls performed better than boys in both groups. The differences, however, were able to be accounted for in terms of performance on a test of Word Knowledge. Implications for the predictive capacity of the Ravens Progressive Matrices Test as well as for the education of non-English speaking migrant children are discussed.
