Group Tests for 5/6 and 7/8 -year-olds

These tests measure the level of general intellectual ability of English and Afrikaans-speaking learners between the ages of 5 and 8 years. Although it is a group test, the test may also be applied individually. A preschool child, who can handle a pencil and follow instructions without difficulty and emotional distress, should be able to complete the test successfully. Each test consists of six subtests and the total raw score is converted to an IQ by adding the raw scores on the six sub-tests.

Norms

Norms are given jointly for White Afrikaans and English-speaking learners at schools from the erstwhile provincial education departments for consecutive three month age intervals from 5 years 0 months to 8 years 11 months. Norm tables to determine the mental age of a testee are also provided. The norms were revised in 1993. Norms are given for English and Afrikaansspeaking learners, the non-environmentally disadvantaged and the environmentally disadvantaged.
