This report enables users of Verbal Reasoning 7 and Non-Verbal Reasoning 7 tests to estimate a
pupils possible end of Key Stage 1 test level in Reading, Writing and Maths. The KS1 indicators
given in this document are appropriate for Reasoning 7 users who test their pupils in the autumn term
of Year 2 in England and Wales or Primary 3 in Northern Ireland.
1. Background
Schools taking part in the Reasoning 7 national standardisation in the autumn term were asked to
provide the KS1 results at the end of the academic year. Complete results from Reasoning 7 and end
of KS1 tests were obtained from around 500 pupils.
2. How strong is the relationship between Reasoning scores and KS1 test results?
The strength of a relationship between two measures can be expressed with a statistic termed a
correlation coefficient. This coefficient goes from 0, indicating no relationship to 1 indicating a perfect
relationship.
The results showed a very strong and statistically significant correlation between the Reasoning 7
scores and the KS1 test results. The correlations are similar to those obtained between the Cognitive
Abilities Test (CAT) and KS2 test results. The correlations are shown in the table below.

Average SAS
The verbal reasoning scores gave the highest correlations with the KS1 reading and writing levels and
the combination of verbal and non-verbal scores gave the highest correlations with the KS1 maths
level. The Average Point Score is the average of the KS1 Reading, Writing and Maths test scores
based on the QCA scoring system: Level 1= 9 points, Level 2C=13, Level 2B=15, Level 2A=17, Level
3=21 points.
The correlations based on standardised scores are slightly lower than those based on raw scores.
This is expected because the KS1 test and Reasoning raw scores are not adjusted for the age of the
pupil whereas the Reasoning standardised scores are adjusted for age.
