Created with Fabric.js 1.4.5 Types of Scores Raw Score A raw score indicates the number of correct answers on a given test. An example of this type of score would be if a student got nine out of ten question correct on a given test. The raw score is usually turned into a percentile. For example, if the raw score was 9 out of 10 correct, it would be turned into ninety percent. Percentiles Percentiles indicate the percentage of people or scores that occur at or below a given score. An example of this type of score could be a student scoring as well as or better than 47 percent of the class as a whole. The percentile helps to determine how well astudent is doing, when compared to other students, in a specific area. Standard Scores Standard scores are a type of raw score that has been transformed to fit a normal curve and to have a mean and standard deviation that remain the same across ages. An example of this type of score is if a child has a standard score of 85, they would be 1 standard deviation below the mean. A standard score with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 is the most typically used form. Scaled Scores A scaled score is a conversion of a raw score to a common scale that allows for numerical comparison. An example of a scaled score could be a 15 on a math subtest, which would show a great understanding of the material. Scores can range from 1 to 19 with a mean of 10.A score between 8 and twelve is an average score. Anything above a 12 is above average.Any score below an 8 is below average.A score between 1 and 3 shows developmental delay.A score between 17 and 19 shows a child as being very superior in that specific area. T Scores A T score is another way to express test performance. Shannon Dick An example of a T score would be a student having a score of 65, which would place the student 1.5 standard deviations above the mean. The calculation for getting the T score is T= 50 + 10z Stanines A stanine is a standard score with amean of 5 and a standard deviation of 2. An example of a stanine score would be if a student scored a 9, which would be 2 standard deviations above the mean. This is an abbreviation for standard nines. The scoring for a stanine score ranges from 1 to 9, where a score of 5 is average. Age Equivalent Scores Age equivalent scores are used to compare theperformance of students of the same age with each other. An example of this type of score would be a student receiving a 10-6. This shows that the students is performing as well as an average 10-year, 6-month-old child. Age equivalent scores are usually given in years and months.It is the estimated age level that corresponds to a given score. Grade Equivalent Scores Grade equivalent scorescompare the performance of children in the same grade with each other. An example of a grade equivalent score would be if a child received a score of 7.2. This score shows that the student is performing as well as an average student in the seventh grade, 2nd. month. Grade equivalent scores are usually given in years and months in school.
