2009 Scores
The Terra Nova is a test designed to measure achievement in the basic skills taught in schools throughout the nation and at St. John the Baptist School. The subject areas measured are Reading and Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies.
The Terra Nova Test is a norm-referenced, standardized achievement test. Norm-referenced means that each child's achievement in a broad area, such as language or mathematics, can be compared with other students' achievement in about the same grades. Achievement means just that--the test provides a "snapshot" of how much learning the student has achieved so far. The test measures the basic content and skills that are most common to curricula throughout the country and in the Diocese of Pittsburgh. This test cannot possibly measure, nor should it attempt to measure, the full curriculum of a particular classroom or school.
Below you will find the results for Grades 2-8 in each of the subject areas they were tested. They are based on Grade Equivalency (GE). GE indicates the year and month of school for which a student's level of performance is typical. (EXAMPLE: 8.5 is typical of a student who has completed the 5th month of Grade 8.) Use caution! It does not always mean that an 8th grade student scoring an 11.1 does not mean that he/she is capable of doing all 11th grade work.
