Manual Scoring
The Raven’s APM produces a single raw score as well as percentile rank to indicate the educative ability or the ability to make sense of complex situations, compared to a norm group.
Benefits
- Use in a variety of settings, such as testing culturally diverse populations where English proficiency varies.
- Identify giftedness and predict educational success.
- Untimed administration: differentiate between people at the high end of intellectual ability with more difficult items that fall within the top 20 percent of the population.
- Timed administration: assess intellectual efficiency.
Features
Raven’s Progressive Matrices is available in a variety of pre-packaged kits. Customers can purchase specific coloured, standard, or advanced kits or a complete kit containing all three versions. These kits include:
- Answer forms: These are double page forms that transfer answers from the front page directly to a back page designed to translate responses into scores.
- Test Booklets: Each version of the Raven’s Progressive Matrices is administered by use of a booklet containing the version specific matrices. Booklets can be purchased individually or in packages of ten for group administration.
- Manuals: These explain how to administer and interpret the test, and also contain research and technical information.
- Scoring Keys: Answer forms have eliminated the need for scoring keys in most situations. If you still have large numbers of hand-scorable answer forms, or several of the versions we have not yet revised, the scoring keys are listed with the appropriate answer form.
