It helps to go through step by step with this information provided in regards to T scores in Excel. I feel like when, or if we have an assignment that deals with finding T scores, I will utilize this video and go backs step-by-step.
Before this course I have never even heard of t-scores and, to be honest, I thought that this was a typo in the title. Now that I know what a t-score is and what it does this video made calculating t-scores much simpiler to understand
Using Excel to covert variables into T Scores makes this process much easier and quicker. The autofill option is great in saving time, which I can imagine is very helpful when calculating many different statistics. I like how Dr. Grande broke down the meaning of both the T scores and the Z scores because I get lost in the meaning of the terms sometimes.
This is really helpful in calculating a series of t-scores. Of course, this can be done by hand but with the creation of the table with mean, SD and such it makes it much quicker and easier. It is interesting that z and t-scores have the same base which ultimately is the z-score.
Alicia Zahn I guess I didn't even realize you could do this by hand. It is easy to do. Having the same base makes them both pretty easy to calculate and understand.
Alicia Zahn I have been doing z-scores by hand and I thought I was going to have to calculate this by hand as well. This video made t-scores sooo much easier
I remember using t scores in my undergrad class. However, it has been a while so I'm sure I will be a great reference tool as I work through this course. Along with what many other people have noted, they do appear complex, but by following along on excel I feel I have a better grasp of what the score calculates and how to calculate.
I like this video because it brings it back to the basics. Each part of the process was explained, and I need that in these videos. I can actually imagine myself running this test because it is simple, but is very helpful. I like all the shortcuts Excel has, but I would need a master key to remember them all. I would like a video for just that! I guess the one thing that confused me is why you need a z-score for all participants. I thought you would only need it for each test.
Jessie Howard I agree with you. The more basic/broken down Dr. Grande makes concepts, the better I understand them. I think it would helpful to have a video on just the shortcuts as well. Some people may not use Excel as often as others. Therefore, it would be nice to have the shortcuts in a video too.
I would like to watch this again while I follow along in Excel with some sample data. It is obvious that T scores are a great way to compare data from different instruments but to really understand, I think I need to do it.
Sarah, following along by doing it ourselves would probably be very helpful to both of us. Calculating t scores seems a bit more difficult that z scores.
Looking at the T scores can show what scores are more accurate among two studies with different instruments. I found it to be confusing at first but I assume T scores are used when z scores are also present.
I think it was helpful to learn how to compare z scores and t scores right next to one another. I also do not have much experience with this so it will have to be something I reference back to.
Hi Dr Todd, thanks for sharing the tutorial on the conversion of raw scores to t score for individual participant. If for example, i have 30 participants and each taken 5 different test with different total raw score per test. Is it possible to compare the total for each test using t score ?
Sir I have 4 independent variables. I found the correlation with dependent variables and found the values of each independent variables. Now the hurdle is, I want to give them weightage and then normalize and compute in one score. How can I do it?
calculating the t-score seemed more complicated, especially since you need the z-score to get the t-score. I will definitely be reviewing this video again with excel to make sure I get how to do it.
Thank you, I couldn't have done my assignment without your video. You made it easy.
You're welcome!

Excellent video... very helpful!
I'm glad to have this existing reference of how to do these calculations, because at this point it's not something I have memorized.

Jessie Howard Yes, this was a very straightforward calculation and the tables created make it simple.

I was able to follow along on my computer, but am definitely going to need to come back to watch the video again when trying to calculate T-scores.
This is still an introduction for T scores for me. I am sure it will all become more clear as we go forward.

I'm certain I will watch this tutorial at least another time. This was actually very complex to me.
