In most cases, the minimum values needed for significance should be used when comparing T-scores. Using the minimum values needed for significance when comparing raw scores is appropriate when a youth changed norm groups across administrations (i.e., had a birthday). Raw score critical values can be found in Tables E.5 and E.6 for the full-length Conners 4 and Conners 4–Short, respectively.
