s yx, we can accurately predict the proportion of those with a given pretest score who will fall above (or be-low) any other IQ score on the posttest (provided the common as-sumptions of linearity and homosce-dasticity between the two variables are met). Those scoring 70 on the first test will have a mean of 82 on the second test, with a standard deviation of 12 IQ points. Using a normal curve table, it is readily apparent that about 84 percent will regress and hence re-ceive higher IQ scores on the posttest even without any practice effect! One-half will &dquo; gain&dquo; 12 or more IQ points; one-sixth will have lQs that &dquo; in-creased&dquo; by 24 or more points (ie, obtain IQ scores of 96 or more). Further, about 10 percent of those with an initial IQ of 70 will obtain an
