A grade equivalent (GE) score is described as both a growth score and a status score both. As is
common with scores that can be used in both major categories GE do not do a very good job in either
category. However, what GE does is indicate where a student’s test score falls along a continuum. The
GE is expressed as a decimal number (4.8). The digit(s) to the left of the decimal represent the grade.
The digit(s) to the right of the decimal represent the month. We assume 10 months per school year. TheGE of a given raw score on any test indicates the grade level at which the typical student earns this raw score. For example, if a seventh grade student earned a GE of 8.4 her raw score is like the raw score the
typical student would likely earn on the same test at the end of the fourth month of the eighth grade.
