Grade 4: Lead Mine - Powell
1998-1999 Writing ScoresUnderstanding the Scoring
The four-point scoring scale is as follows: Level 4 means the response exhibits a strong command of a particular style of writing; 3 means the response exhibits a reasonable command; 2 means a weak command; and 1 means a lack of command. Characteristics that test readers look for in a student's essay are a main idea, supporting details, organization, and coherence. Scores of 2.5 or higher are considered to demonstrate appropriate writing skills.
Students also receive a "conventions" score that indicates the level of proficiency in sentence formation, usage, and mechanics like spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. Conventions ratings are awarded as "+" or "-". A "+" means the writer showed a reasonable and acceptable level of proficiency; a "-" means the writer did not show a reasonable and acceptable level of proficiency. Students receive "++" or "--" to show both test readers agreed, or both "+" and "-" to show both test readers did not agree. The number in the NS column is the percentage of tests that were Not Scoreable.
