Frequently Asked Question:

I cannot enter the date of birth

Resolution:

You must enter the date using the 4-digit format: mm/dd/yyyy. To enter a date of birth, use the mouse to click on the appropriate field. For data fields, use the mouse to click to the appropriate field and enter information.

Check the date entered for the Assessment date as well as the Date of Birth. Both must be accurate or the norms calculations will not be correct.
