The performance of the norms group on the Reading and Arithmetic subtests of the WRAT was compared with that of a representative national sampling. Systematic differences were found between the two data sets, and the effects of these differences on the current norms were illustrated. In general, the norms tend to underestimate a subject's level of achievement relative to the general population.
