June 2013 Grade 4 Elementary-Level Science Test Conversion Chart
Performance Levels Chart and
Conversion Chart for Determining a Student's Final Test Score
Note: Use for June 2013 test only.
The chart below defines the four performance levels for this test. The chart provides the score range and a brief description of student performance for each level.
Following the performance level chart, the conversion chart (in PDF and EXCEL) is presented. To determine the student's final test score, locate the student's raw score for the performance test across the top of the chart and the student's raw score for the written test down the left side of the chart. The point where those two scores intersect is the student's final test score. For example, a student receiving a performance test raw score of 12 and a written test raw score of 35 would receive a final test score of 80.
Note: Use for the June 2013 test only. Conversion charts provided for previous administrations of the Grade 4 Elementary-Level Science Test must NOT be used to determine students' final scores for the June 2013 administration of the test.
