According to the results, it can be assumed that the tests were neither too easy nor too difficult for students and they also discriminated well among examinees with different abilities. In order to compare the students’ results, norm-tables were constructed by transforming raw scores to scaled scores. The norm tables can help the teachers to interpret the achievement levels of the students, even the students administered different forms of tests.
