[quote=Anonymous]We got mailed the test results about 6 months after the test! They give your child a scaled score and then a rating of basic (failed) Proficient (passed) and Advanced (high pass). What they don't tell you about that scaled score and that I find interesting is that to pass at the proficient level your kids has to get about 50% of the answers correct. "Advanced" means about 75% correct. The score is mostly multiple choice with 4 possible answers to each question, so a 50% correct score isn't really saying al that much. I think the Advanced rate (75% correct) shoudl be required for a Proficient rating, and 90% correct -- remember this is a test of basic skills on a curriculum taht was delivered all year) shoudl be labelled "Advanced". But that is just me! Also -- I don't think the writing responses are all that strenuous. Kids might write a lot, but you don't need to write much to score a 3. It's pretty minimal.[/quote]
