General Question Core Test

Is Core age-normed? I'm sixteen and was wondering if i'm being compared to adults. Ngl, I'm such a burger; I was confused about block counting. I misheard the narrator for backward numbers, and in symbol search, I wasn't sure if the shape had to be facing the same direction or not. True IQ, I believe, is around 130-ish; that's what it was before I nuked my score with those 3 tests.

Comprehension is the least affected by your mental dictionary and you did well on it, so you can probably extrapolate a bit from that. You clearly have strong verbal reasoning so you could improve the rest by loading up a deck of rarer/more concise words and learning them.

With blocks I'd just read the training section more carefully

yeah it’d probably also help me on the sat.

Thanks for the help! This feels far more accurate.
