Appendix U: Conversion of raw scores to stanines and percentile ranks for Grade 1 learners.
The following table represents the norms for learners in Grade 1. From this table a given raw score can conveniently be converted to a percentile rank and stanine. For example, a learner who scores 18 and above on the VASSI, would attain a stanine of 9. According to the stanine conversion table, this learner would be scoring within the ‘very superior’ range compared to his/her peers at that level. Furthermore, this learner would be at the top 1% (they performed better than 99% of their peers) of the class.
The average stanine for the Grade 1 class is 4.91156 (rounded off to 5), and the percentile rank is equal to 47. This means that when compared to the normal distribution the grade 1 learners are in the average range, they performed better than 47% of other learners in the norm group.
