Assessment Terminology Raw Score = number of items answered correctly plus number of points earned on rubrics Scale Score = converted from raw score and item difficulty based on a range from 001 – 999
Assessment Terminology Proficiency Level = interpreted (socially derived) score based on definitions and cut scores Proficiency Index = First number is proficiency level, second number is how far the score is from both ends of the range (2.5 is one halfway between 2 & 3)
Assessment Terminology Proficiency Index: the same scale score is interpreted differently based on the grade level and on the construct (L,S,R,W) Proficiency Index: the same proficiency level score corresponds to different scale scores based on the grade level and construct
Assessment Terminology When comparing performance especially when monitoring change over time, the best measure to use is the Scale Score.
