How to use it

  1. 1

    Enter the date of birth.

  2. 2

    Enter the assessment date — the day the evaluation is done, which may not be today.

  3. 3

    Copy Y;M;D for a full report line, or Y;M if days should be dropped (months are not rounded up).

How this calculator counts age

Chronological age here is the same anniversary-day calendar age as the main calculator: whole years, then whole months, then leftover days.

Y;M;D is that result written with semicolons, for example 7;11;4. Y;M keeps the year and month and drops the days (7;11), so a child who is 7 years, 11 months, and 4 days is not written as 8;0.

This figure is not a developmental age, a language score, or an intelligence result, and this site is not connected with any test publisher.

Questions

What does Y;M;D mean?

It is years, months, and days in a compact form, separated by semicolons. The Copy Y;M;D button puts that text on your clipboard.

When should I copy Y;M instead?

When a form only wants year and month. We drop the days and do not round the month up.

Can I use a date other than today?

Yes. The assessment date is a required idea on this page — use the day the evaluation actually took place, even if that was last week or will be next month.

Is this the same as a published testing protocol?

No. It is ordinary calendar age. It should not be read as a substitute for a publisher’s official scoring software or forms.
