The basic score on any test is the raw score, which is simply the number of points earned. You can interpret a raw score only in terms of a particular set of test questions. Unlike raw scores, you can interpret scale scores across different sets of test questions. Scale scores allow direct comparisons of student performance between specific sets of test questions from different test administrations. A scale score is a conversion of the raw score onto a scale that is common to all test forms for that assessment. The scale score takes into account the difficulty level of the specific set of questions based on the test. It quantifies a student’s performance relative to the passing standards or proficiency levels.
