| This test identifies young children (from preschool through first grade) who are at risk for school failure. It yields an overall Early Achievement score, plus individual subtest scores for General Information, Reading, Writing, Mathematics, and Spoken Language. Results are provided as standard scores, age equivalents, and percentiles. |
| Because the subtests can be given independently, the YCAT permits flexible testing sessions, which are easier on both the examiner and the youngsters being tested. |
| Normed on a representative sample of 1,224 children from all over the United States, the YCAT offers substantial evidence of validity. In addition, YCAT items were examined to eliminate bias in regard to gender, disability, race, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity. |
