An Examination of the Concurrent Validity of the Basic Academic Skills Samples (BASS).

Jenkins, Joseph R.; Jewell, Mark

Diagnostique, v17 n4 p273-88 Sum 1992

A total of 413 students in grades 1-6 were administered the Basic Academic Skills Samples, the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Tests, and the Metropolitan Achievement Test. Although the relationships among the three tests were reasonably strong, it appeared that the measures did not identify identical populations of at-risk students. (Author/JDD)
