The Gates-MacGinitie Reading Tests are a norm-referenced series that estimates reading achievement from vocabulary and passage-comprehension tasks. A score compares performance with a stated reference group for one edition and level. It does not explain why a reader struggles or show how well real-world messages are understood.
