Scale Score Ranges Associated with Each Performance Level | Grade | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 | | 3 | 475-615 | 616-649 | 650-719* (for 2009 only) | 720-780* (for 2009 only) | | 4 | 430-611 | 612-649 | 650-715 | 716-775 | | 5 | 495-607 | 608-649 | 650-710 | 711-795 | | 6 | 480-597 | 598-649 | 650-695* (for 2009 only) | 696-785* (for 2009 only) | | 7 | 470-599 | 600-649 | 650-704* (for 2009 only) | 705-790* (for 2009 only) | | 8 | 430-601 | 602-649 | 650-714 | 715-790 | *For the 2009 Grades 3, 6, and 7 English Language Arts Tests only, the range of scale scores within the performance level have been changed. This adjustment has been made so that students are not required to earn a perfect raw score in order to achieve a Level 4. If a perfect raw score were to be required to achieve a performance level 4 for any of the future Grades 3-8 English Language Arts Tests, a similar adjustment will be made.
