What does this mean for us? Will there be new materials that I need to purchase? • No changes were made to the test structure, items, or item content! • However, a new BDI-2 NU Examiner’s Manual will be published to include the updated norms tables. – If you are hand scoring and use the BDI-2 NU norms, you must purchase the new examiner manual • It is not necessary to purchase new test records or student workbooks. Please continue to use your current BDI-2 test records and student workbooks until depleted. – If the BDI-2 NU norms are used for an evaluation on the existing forms, simply write "BDI-2 NU" at the top of the form as a reminder to use BDI-2 NU norms in the Data Manager website during scoring.
What does this mean for us? • For those of you that use the BDI-2 Data Manager for scoring and reporting, automatic access to both the BDI-2 and BDI-2 NU norms will be available. • This is the same for the Mobile Data Solution (MDS) users as well.
Which Normative Set Should We Use? • The Normative update will take place on September 30 th. • Beginning October 3 rd ALL New assessments should begin utilizing the updated BDI-2 NU new norms for scoring and reporting. • If the BDI-2 norms were used for and entry assessment it is best practice to use the same normative set for the exit assessments (Doing so reduces score differences between entry and exit assessments that may be the result of difference in the normative set used to derive the scores).
