Scoring

How is “successful” or “not yet successful” determined? 

Students receive a single literacy score, which is based on the relationship between students’ overall ability in reading and writing and their performance on individual items. Each student’s outcome is determined by the pattern of responses to the multiple-select questions and by the scores achieved on the open-response questions. The analysis determines the most likely location of a student on the achievement continuum defined by the content of the test.

Students receive a single literacy score, which is based on the relationship between students’ overall ability in reading and writing and their performance on individual items.

 Each student’s outcome is determined by the pattern of responses to the multiple-select questions and by the scores achieved on the open-response questions. The statistical procedure, known as Item Response Theory, takes into account the student’s responses to the questions on the assessment and the characteristics of each question, such as difficulty. The analysis determines the most likely location of a student on the achievement continuum defined by the content of the test.
