The BASI™ test is a versatile, multi-level, norm-referenced achievement test that helps measure math, reading, and language skills for children and adults.
Available in a Comprehensive and Survey version, the BASI series helps present a complete evaluation of academic skills. These convenient tests yield standard scores, national percentile rankings, grade equivalents, age equivalents, and performance classifications by learning objective—without requiring individual administration or lengthy testing.
Normed during the 2002-03 school year and highly correlated to the leading individually and group-administered achievement and intelligence tests, the BASI series is a current, valid, and reliable assessment tool.
The Demographics tab includes an Administrator section and an Examinee section.
