EVALUATION PROCEDURE

TEST ADMINISTERED Otis-Lennon (OLSAT) School Ability Test

DATE GIVEN December 28, 2013

BEHAVIORAL OBSERVATION

During the administration of the test, Jasmine was sure to be in her best condition. She did not have any cases that might interfere with her performance. She had her glasses on and clarified that she would be able to properly read the questions. Jasmine showed so much enthusiasm. She listened intently to the instructions given to her. Jasmine followed every direction given to her openly. Once she began answering the test, it was evident that she was really focused. Jasmine answered each and every

question in the test booklet confidently. She even managed to finish the test ahead of time and review her answers.

PERSONAL BACKGROUND

Jasmine Nicole Pineda is a sixteen year-old fourth year high school student in Marisyl School situated in Valenzuela City. Jasmine currently lives with her mother, and her older sister and brother. Her father passed away when she was in her junior year. Right now, her mother and older brother work to provide for their family. Jasmine grew up in an environment that is not ideal for a growing child. According to her, when she was younger, she would always wake up in the morning already hearing unpleasant words from her bickering aunt and uncle. Even after she goes to school, when she comes back home she would still hear their nonstop shouting about all the things thats possible. Wanting to get away from such an environment, she said she would often go to her friends house just across their street. There she would spend the remaining time playing and studying with her friend and her friends siblings. She would only go home when her mother gets back from work. The everyday scenery in her young life made Jasmine promise herself that she would be an achiever. And thus she became an achiever. She always gets high marks in her exams, top her classes and earn pleasant remarks from her teacher. She wanted to become a professional and have a successful life in the future. Jasmine possesses love and passion for music and writing. She said that if she will be able to continue to continue and study for college, she would want to take either a course in Journalism or Music. She wanted to enter the University of the Philippines but she wasnt sure if shed be able to pass the admission test. Jasmine feels that she needs to be pointed in the right direction, because she is not sure of the best education and career choices that would lead her to what she dreams of having, a well-off life, away from the environment she grew up in.

TEST RESULTS & INTERPRETATION The Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT) is designed to give the respondent and the test-givers an idea of the respondent's academic capabilities. The OLSAT can be used to predict future academic performance, or to compare the level of current academic performance with the level of capability. The OLSAT is divided into two parts: verbal and nonverbal. The scores on these parts are expressed as raw scores, percentile ranks (in comparison to norms by age), and Stanine scores.

Jasmines score on the OLSAT are as follows: Total Raw Score: Scaled Score: Performance by Age School Ability Index (SAI): Percentile Rank: Stanine Score: 116 84 7 59 702

Verbal Raw Score: Scaled Score: Performance by Age School Ability Index (SAI): Percentile Rank: Stanine: 124 93 8 32 731

Nonverbal Raw Score: Scaled Score: Performance by Age School Ability Index (SAI): Percentile Rank: Stanine: 107 67 6 27 678

IMPRESSION & CONCLUSION

Jasmine seems to be a very competent student. As shown in the results of her OLSAT and as stated that she tops her classes, she will be very capable of doing and achieving the things she wishes to pursue. If she will be able to maintain her performance or even improve it, there is no doubt that she may also be able to enter the university she doubts herself she could enter. Jasmine is clearly capable of comprehending the English language thus giving her the advantage of answering the questions with ease. This would also help her in other fields aside from the educational setting. Jasmine also seems to be organized. This showed on the way she answered her test booklet. She never stayed way to long in one single item. If she finds one item to be difficult, she would skip it and proceed to the next if she wouldnt be able to answer it within two or more minutes. In this way she was able to manage her time and finish the test ahead of the allotted time and had plenty enough to go back to those that she skipped.

RECOMMENDATION

a) Jasmine should strive to continue her education. Jasmines historic academic achievements and OLSAT scores have proven that she is very capable of collegelevel work. Her abilities will no doubt help her to enter a university and be able to finish a course. b) Jasmine should consider a profession that requires proficiency in the use of language. Having high scores in the verbal categories, she is expected to have a good mastery of English language, to follow instructions easily and to show facility in reading and expression. With these, she may always pursue a journalism course just like what she wanted. Her abilities would definitely help her in its course requirements.
