Test score users often want or rather, demand, that subscores be reported along with total test scores due to their perceived diagnostic value (Brennan, 2012). Consequently, subscores are reported for several large-scale tests including the ACT, SAT, LSAT, and Praxis. Yet, despite the perceived usefulness of subscores, certain factors should be considered before they are reported.
