National comparative data are based on the performance of the current population of student test-takers.PACKRAT practice test 2. The data on this page include the mean and standard deviation (SD) for the current version. National Comparative Data is released after 300 student administrations and are updated regularly to reflect the most up-to-date statistics. We know that having solid national comparative data is a top priority for PAEA member programs using PAKCRAT. Included in the Historical Statistics reports are details on means, standard deviations (SD), reliabilities, and standard errors of measurement (SEM) for all retired exams forms. The historical national exam statistics for PACKRAT can be found on our Assessment Resources page.
