Question 3: In TestNav, what does a 'scaled score' represent compared to a raw score?
- The percentage of questions answered correctly
- A mathematically adjusted score that allows comparison across different test forms (Correct answer)
- The number of questions answered correctly
- A score that is weighted by question difficulty only
Correct answer: A mathematically adjusted score that allows comparison across different test forms
Scaled scores are mathematically converted from raw scores to allow fair comparison across different test forms or administrations.

Correct answer: Report the issue to the school or district testing coordinator
Students should report scoring concerns to their school or district testing coordinator, who can then escalate the issue through proper channels.
Question 5: What is the typical purpose of a 'score range' provided on a TestNav score report?
- To show the minimum and maximum possible scores on the test
- To indicate the margin of measurement error around the student's score (Correct answer)
- To display scores of all students in the class
- To show the student's score history over multiple years
Correct answer: To indicate the margin of measurement error around the student's score
A score range, or confidence interval, represents the margin of measurement error, showing the range within which the student's true score likely falls.
Question 6: Which of the following is typically NOT included in a standard TestNav individual student score report?
- The student's scaled score
- Performance level (e.g., Basic, Proficient, Advanced)
- The student's responses to each specific question (Correct answer)
- Subscores by content domain
Correct answer: The student's responses to each specific question
Individual question responses are generally not included in standard score reports to protect test security and item integrity.
Question 7: When a TestNav assessment uses performance levels, what do these levels indicate?
- How long the student spent on the test
- The student's ranking compared to other test-takers nationally
- Categories that describe the degree to which a student met the learning standards (Correct answer)
- The number of questions the student skipped
Correct answer: Categories that describe the degree to which a student met the learning standards
Performance levels categorize student achievement to indicate how well they demonstrated mastery of the tested standards.
