The project, supported by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TL02000268), is focused on developing a test battery of the mathematical and Czech language knowledge, skills, and cognitive prerequisites. We target two populations: juniors aged 5-22 years and seniors aged 55-80. The project aims to develop and standardize the whole test battery with approx. 30 subtest, many of them age-specific and equated across cohorts. Moreover, the test battery will be co-normed with intelligence test Woodcock-Johnson, 4th ed. (WJ-IV COG CZ) in the junior population and with memory battery TOMAL-SE in the senior population. This repository is intended to store and share data, additional test materials, analytical scripts, and other materials. Some of these data are published under public license; feel free to use available data. On the other hand, the test is commercially distributed and copyrighted, and thus the majority of materials are not publicly available. However, we consider the data and analytical scripts availability, or, more broadly, the transparency of the whole development process and the test standardization, as the necessary precondition for the entire test battery's validity. The "on-demand" availability of these materials is, therefore, the purpose of this online repository. The protected data are stored in separate project components; if interested in them, feel free to contact authors. We are open to any collaboration. The majority of materials are in Czech language only as the test content and context is language sensitive.
