Hildebrand, Myrene; Hoover, H. D. – 1986
This study compared the reliability and validity of two different measures of reading ability, the Degrees of Reading Power (DRP) and the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) Reading test and the ITBS Vocabulary test. The data consisted of scores of 377 grade 5 and grade 6 students on these tests, along with their assigned reading levels in the…

Hunter, John A., Jr.; Lowe, James D., Jr. – Southern Journal of Educational Research, 1978
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Revised (WISC-R) was administered to 34 elementary students scoring "gifted" on the Otis, Iowa, and SRBCSS (Scale for Rating Behavioral Characteristics of Superior Students). Results indicated a combination of the Otis, Iowa, and SRBCSS was moderately effective in predicting the Full Scale…

Abedi, Jamal; Leon, Seth; Mirocha, Jim – 2001
The concurrent validity of standardized achievement tests (the Stanford 9 and the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills) was examined using data from different school districts nationwide and a latent variable modeling approach. Items in the standardized achievement tests in several content areas were divided into parcels. Parcel scores were used to create…

Abedi, Jamal – 2001
Validity and reliability issues in standardized testing of students of limited English proficiency (LEP) were studied. Existing data from four different school sites were obtained for LEP and non-LEP students for three different standardized tests, the Stanford Achievement Tests (Ninth edition), the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, and the Language…

Marshall, Jon C.; Powers, Jerry M.
A study was conducted to: (1) determine the simple and multiple correlation coefficients between selected educational/personal variables and academic achievement at intermediate grade levels as measured by the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills; (2) determine the multiple linear regression equations for predicting individual student achievement as…
