    The document discusses the psychometric properties of the OLSAT test. It reports that the OLSAT has high reliability ranging from 0.84 to 0.95 depending on the level assessed. Validity estimates range from 0.40 to 0.60. Over 463,000 students were used in the large, national normative sample. The OLSAT provides scores using SAIs, percentile ranks, stanines, scaled scores, and NCEs to indicate a student's ability level compared to other students based on the mean SAI of 100 and standard deviation of 16. The Total score is considered the best overall indicator of school ability.

    Psychometric Properties

    Overall, the OLSAT has good psychometric properties. In terms of reliability, the estimates

    range from .84 to .95, depending on which level of the test is being assessed. Instead of showing

    test-retest reliability, the OLSAT shows internal consistency. In terms of validity, estimates range

    from .40 to .60. The OLSAT Technical Manual offers content, criterion-referenced, and construct

    validity as evidence. All of the normative data surrounding the OLSAT is based on a large, national

    sample. Demographic traits of the standardized samples include geographic region, socioeconomic

    status, ethnicity, and others. About 463,000 students were tested to standardize the current version

    of the test (Chinappi, 2012a; Motta & Joseph, 2000).

    As previously mentioned, the scores of the OLSAT are given by SAIs, percentile ranks,

    stanines, scaled scores, and NCEs. The SAIs have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 16,

    which makes it easy to see where a student is relative to other students (Aiken, & Groth-Marnat,

    2006). The test scores given include the main Total Score, along with separate Verbal and

    Nonverbal part scores. The Total score is the best overall indicator of school ability level (Pearson,

    2012b).
