This paper describes the considerations involved and results obtained in establishing norms for English proficiency tests developed for the intermediate grades in Bureau of Indian Affairs schools. A brief description of item types in the three sections of the test and the objectives of the test battery are given. The steps taken to account for situational, test, and individual factors; the workshops held for test administrators; the production of a detailed administrative manual; and the establishment of statistical confidence intervals are discussed. Reliability, error of measurement, and intercorrelation data for the three sections of the battery are given. The population on which norms were based is described as to number of subjects involved, native language, grades, school accessibility, and school size
