sample response to this discussion: Ms. Tam gained valuable insight about Shirley's language proficiency via the English-language evaluation. With a raw score of 41, a standard score of 86, a percentile rank of 18, and an age equivalent of 4.6 years, Shirley's auditory comprehension implies that she may have some difficulty understanding spoken language in comparison to her classmates. With a raw score of 44, a standard score of 98, a percentile rank of 45, and an age equivalent of 5.6 years, her expressive language skills demonstrate greater verbal expression ability. Her overall standard score of 91, percentile rank of 27, and age equivalent of 5.0 years are revealed by the total language score, which combines both auditory comprehension and expressive language. This puts her slightly below average when compared to her classmates in a larger linguistic environment
