Using the raw score for each subscale, look up the corresponding T-score from the appropriate grade level chart in the Appendices. For example, if the raw score for a girl in 5th grade on the SP (Social Phobia) subscale was 12, the T-score would be 48 (see Appendix A, p.6). Automated Scoring. Scoring programs for youth and parent versions are available at www.childfirst.ucla.edu/resources.html for scoring the RCADS and calculating T scores. Begin by entering youths gender and grade level on top right hand corner. Note: only grade level should be entered (not youth age). Continue by entering scores (0-3) for all 47 items. Raw scores by subscale will be generated and data points plotted along the corresponding figure. The figure shows a dashed line at T = 65. T scores of 65 or higher will show in a yellow background, indicating scores at the borderline clinical threshold. T score of 70 or higher will show in an orange background, indicating scores above the clinical threshold.
