How are individual test results for STAR 2003 reported for students?
The overall results for the 2003 CSTs and the CAPA include the scaled score and the performance level achieved for each subject area tested. There are five performance levels students can achieve: advanced, proficient, basic, below basic, and far below basic. The levels indicate how well students met state academic content standards for each subject area tested. The goal is to have all students performing at proficient and advanced levels.The writing samples in grades 4 and 7 received separate scores that were combined with scores for the multiple-choice questions for writing to determine the performance levels for English-language arts. In addition, the score for each student’s writing sample is reported separately under Specific Results for Writing Applications. The CAT/6 results are reported as percent correct and national percentiles. A national percentile compares the student’s results with scores of a national sample of students in the same grade who were tested at the same time
