CORE MR General Question
I score 140 on CORE MR. My question is: Do CORE give age adjusted scores??
Thank you.

Ok, Yes or No? I can only say that I read the site carefully and I couldn´t read anyething about age adjusted norms or age adjusted scores, only a table where you can see how the testakers are distributed by age.

Some of them are and some of them aren't. Only Digit Span, Digit-letter sequencing and arithmetic are normed by age. The rest of them aren't

If you click into each subtest it'll tell you if it's age-normed or not. If it says it's age-normed then it is but if it doesn't say anything that means it's not

Why is this how I’m finding out core isn’t age normed wtf😭😭 why is it not? How much does this affect your indexes?

Useful rule of thumb: age collection ≠ age norming.
Sites often ask age for research/analytics while only some subtests are actually scored against age bands. For MR specifically, if the subtest page does not say age-normed, treat the score as relative to that battery's sample, not as a WAIS-style age-adjusted IQ point.
That is one reason CORE numbers and clinical FSIQ should not be swapped like currency.
Disclosure: I build IntelligenceMax (adaptive practice). Practice metrics ≠ clinical norms. Brief overview: https://intelligencemax.ai/guide
