Standard Deviation

Standard deviation is a statistic that measures the dispersion of a dataset relative to its mean and is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values.

Raw Scores

The initial, unadjusted scores obtained directly from tests or assessments before any normalization or conversion.

Test-retest Reliability

A measure of the consistency and stability of test results over repeated administrations under similar conditions.

Normal Curve

A symmetric, bell-shaped graphical representation of a normal distribution in statistics, where most occurrences take place around the mean.
