Definitions:

Standard Deviation

A measure of the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values.

Raw Scores

The original, unaltered scores obtained directly from a test or assessment without any normalization or transformation.

Test-retest Reliability

This refers to the consistency of scores on a test or assessment when the same individuals take the test again under similar conditions after a time interval.

Interquartile Range

Provides the range of the middle 50% of scores around the median. Because it eliminates the top and bottom quartiles, the quartile range is most useful with skewed curves because it offers a more representative picture of where a large percentage of the scores fall.
