  3. Standardized Test Scoring • Test scores are used to identify student progress, see how students are performing in different schools, and see how different groups of students perform relative to others • Scores are used for Academic Placement into Honors, Accelerated, & Intervention Classes • HCS uses MAP, SC READY, and SC PASS for standardized testing

  4. Standardized Test Scoring • Un-timed Used to measure student progress and growth in reading and math • • The difficulty of each question is based on how well a student answers all the previous questions The score is unrelated to the age or grade of the student, but reflects the level at • which the student is currently performing The percentile (%) given by the MAP report shows how a student’s score • compares to all other students in the nation who completed the MAP at that grade level

  7. Standardized Test Scoring Performance Levels 3 performance levels were established for the SCPASS tests. Social Studies Exemplary – The student demonstrated exemplary performance in meeting the grade- level standard. Met – The student met the grade-level standards. Not Met – The student did not meet the grade-level standard.

  8. Standardized Test Scoring Measures student performance/test items are aligned to the standards for each subject & grade level ELA & MATH
