Norms- test scores and corresponding percentile ranks of a large, representative sample of individuals. Representative samples- a large sample of people that are representative of all people just like you, we only compare your score to people just like you: reliability- stability or consistency of a set of test scores. A test is said to be reliable if it yields about the same score for the same individual in repeated testing. Test-retest method- administer the same test to the same individual on two different occasions. Alternate forms- administer two different versions of the same test to the same individuals on two different occasions.
