When should the teacher complete the Raw Score field?
Under typical circumstances, the Raw Score should not be bubbled. If the student did not record their test answers on the Test form, the Data Dictionary instructs the teacher to use the Raw Score field to record the score. This allows the test to be counted in TOPSpro. An example: if a student is physically incapable of bubbling the Test form, (and the answers are recorded by other means) the teacher may calculate the score and use Field #9 to indicate the score the student received. Note that bubbling the Raw Score field is an option, but be aware this will override the actual student responses and legitimate score.
