- The conversion chart is presented on four pages. Be sure to use the correct portion of the table. To determine the student’s final test score, locate the student’s raw score for the performance test across the top of the table and the student’s raw score for the written test down the left side of the table. The point where those two scores intersect is the student’s final test score. For example, a raw score of 35 on the performance test and a raw score of 65 on the written test result in a final test score of 80.
