| Assessment Reporting Method Assessment Reporting Method Source: Handbooks
The method that the instructor of the class uses to report the performance and achievement of all students. It may be a qualitative method such as individualized teacher comments or a quantitative method such as a letter or a numerical grade. In some cases, more than one type of reporting method may be used. Code Set: - Achievement/proficiency level - A score that indicates the student's
proficiency in a particular subject matter.
Performance is usually described in achievement
levels (e.g., a range from "basic" to
"advanced").
- ACT score - A score used with the American College
Testing Program examinations. This score has a mean
of 15 and a standard deviation of five, and scores
are based on nationally-representative sample of
tenth-and eleventh-grade students.
- Age score - A derived score used to express a
student's test performance in terms of the
developmental-level characteristics of the average
individual of a corresponding chronological age. This
is used more frequently with intelligence and
achievement tests for children of school age or
below. Scores can be applied to determine a student's
mental age (e.g., the average chronological age of
students achieving a specific raw score) or education
age (e.g., test performance according to the norm age
on any given level).
- C-scaled scores - A score expressed in normalized standard
score of eleven units.
- College Board examination scores - A score developed for use with the
College Board examinations as the basis for reporting
scores on many of its other special program tests.
College Board examinations include the SAT and
subject tests, PSAT/NMSQT, AP and CLEP. It is similar
to other linear standard scores but has a mean of 500
and a standard deviation of 100.
