Introducing the BASI™
The BASI™ (Basic Achievement Skills Inventory)
assessments are a series of versatile, multi-level,
norm-referenced achievement tests that help
measure math, reading and language skills for
children and adults. The tests also yield criterion-
referenced information.

• BASI™ C administration options• Computerized with the Q Local™software• Paper & pencil
• Scoring options• Computer scoring with the Q Local™software
– Immediately upon administration– Immediately with an attached scanner (using scannable
answer sheets)
• Mail in scoring service (using scannable answer sheets)
• Hand-scoring with carbon-less answer sheets
(requires manual for look-up tables-use when a quick estimate of standard scores only is desired or is sufficient).
![Page 10: 1 Introducing the Basic Achievement Skills Inventory (BASI ™)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697c0041a28abf838cc4239/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Standard scores have a mean of 100 and a SD of 15 to facilitate comparison with individually-
administered achievement tests and IQ tests.

Notice what happens to the report when the
test is administered
untimed.
A disclaimer appears at the
top of the report, and all the standard
scores are grayed-out.
![Page 35: 1 Introducing the Basic Achievement Skills Inventory (BASI ™)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697c0041a28abf838cc4239/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
However, if the test is timed,
but administered with special
accommodations, a disclaimer appears but so
do all the standard scores.
![Page 36: 1 Introducing the Basic Achievement Skills Inventory (BASI ™)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5697c0041a28abf838cc4239/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

An optional, free Parent’s Report is included with the Student Summary
Report.
This report simply illustrates the percentile score and labels the
performance, and allows space for the examiner’s written comments.
A lengthier narrative explains the scores.

Q. Why bother studying test content?
– Most essential feature in an achievement test– Linking assessment to intervention

• Individually-administered achievement tests• Woodcock Johnson III (WJ-III)• WIAT-II• WRAT-3
• Good tests, but the BASI™• covers as many or more learning standards and with more
items • correlates highly with these tests• doesn’t require one-on-one administration and therefore more
cost-effective and convenient• is just as reliable and valid (if not more valid due to in depth
content coverage)
BASI™ and other tests

43
• Off-the-shelf standardized achievement tests• Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS)• Stanford 10 (SAT10)• California Achievement Test, fifth edition (CAT/5)
• Good tests, but the BASI™• is administered in about half the time • has a higher ceiling than the ITBS• is just as valid and reliable• does not require a locator test • collects NCLB demographics for AYP• is a better value (no hidden costs, free Parent’s Report)• can be administered on-screen and scored locally

Steps • Administer the BASI Form A as early in the year as
possible.• Use the paper or Q-Local administration• Print the individual student reports• Review each student’s performance
– Identify areas in need of… (remediation, enhancement)– Inform the student and parents– Inform other stakeholders (principal, others)
• Create classroom reports– Export the Q-Local data
• Consider intervention or remediation plans– Individual students– Classroom
