Abstract
Yen states that “Phillips and Clarizio (1988) make a serious error in concluding that developmental standard score scales produce unrealistic expectations for growth of low‐achieving students.” The reply that follows argues that Yen's response is justified only if low‐achieving students are tested in an inappropriate way.Keywords
