KTEA-3 SCORE REPORTS
This section provides an overview and comparison of the KTEA-3 Brief and Comprehensive Form score reports that are currently available in Q-global. The Brief Form o ers one standard report in Q-global. The Comprehensive Form o ers three reports: a standard report, a parent report, and a GSV Charts report. For users who purchase both the Brief Form and Comprehensive Form assessments on Q-global, one additional standard report is available: the Brief + Comprehensive Score Report. The features included in each standard report are summarized in Rapid Reference 2.16.
