CITO score

The CITO-test is a standardized test for educational achievement that is administered in the final grade (when children are 11 or 12 years old) of elementary school. The CITO-test consists of multiple choice items in 4 different educational skills, namely Arithmetic, Language, Study Skills, and Science and Social Studies. All scores on the scales are standardized to percentile scores to correct for differences in the number of items across the years. The first 3 test scales are combined to a standardized Total score (also called CITO final test score), which is standardized on scale from 500 to 550.

In Generation R, the CITO test scores were obtained from CITO data linkage and, if not available, retrieved from maternal reports by questionnaire. Subtests included: language, math, and world orientation, from which a final score was calculated, and a CITO advice was based.
