For reasons having to do with my ADD I have been looking at my old school records from LAUSD (LA Unified School District). I have also been reviewing old diaries from that era for personal reasons… I ran across something in the diaries that relates to the test scores,and I’m confused trying to figure it all out.

(Also any guidance as to what the test itself might have looked like in the early/mid-70’s would be great.)

> Ooctober 1970, Grade 7, California Test of Basic Skills, 3rd Quarter and READ means… ? a leader for the next line?

> Line 2  
> Nothing until the end, under “read” RS 77 = seems to indicate Raw Score 77. But out of how many?
> 
> Line 3  
> Last name, First name STA # ( I know that stands for stanine - I presume the overall for the whole CTBS? Then why “Read” separated out with raw scores, but nothing else? If that’s not what it means, then…?)

> Well, this lends itself to the reading and arithmetic scores being separated out for raw score notation…again weird, though

> LINE 2  
> 8226 ----blank space-------RS 81 G \*  
> The 8226 is a mystery, I figure the RS 81 is raw score reading again, but under Arith it says G \*…? I was failing like a mutha in math from about 4th grade forward, so I assume it means something like …she’s so far below **G** rade, we’re just gonna give her a little punctuation instead…

> the 8693 and 1076 are complete mysteries. he IQ I understand, (does not appear under the O-L, i’s under Q4 SCORE, then the stanine…always I presume its for the whole CTBS, but then the little extra stuff is weird…

> LINE 3  
> Last First Middle initial RD 82 G #

> So the RD 82 isn’t “Raw score” but it’s close to the 81/77 under the RS on the others. The digit after the G is directly under “STA” which must be the stanines…but 2 of them? For what two tests?

So, can anyone help out with the little weird bits?  
(Just as an aside… my school records might as well have ADHD splashed across them in giant red letters… my history teacher saying my work has collapsed, fail, math bitching about missing homework,fail, my English teacher breathlessly writing that I’m “an outstanding student! Very creative and talented, a real pleasure” A, Urban Ecology says I’m an asset, I just need to “talk a little less in class”…sigh…)
