The New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge September 2012 Score Interpretation Manual Grades 3 to 8 which is applicable to all the parents students and private tutors at all three Math Genie abacus math for kids schools in New Jersey in the United States of America, continues on to state the following, quote “Following standard industry-wide procedures, the committees determine the raw scores that identify a marginally proficient student (that is, the raw score that would convert to a scale score of 200) and a marginally advanced proficient student (the raw score that would convert to a scale score of 250). They establish these cut scores on the basis of the material on the tests, the published state curriculum standards, and their experience and expertise in working with students. Using the proficient and advanced proficient cut scores and the statistics generated from the raw scores of all the students in the state, statisticians from the contractor then mathematically generate the rest of the distribution of scale scores. After a review by NJ DOE officials, and with the approval of the State Board of Education, the final cut scores are set. In the years that follow, the scale scores are derived from an equating process through which the scale is made to consistently reflect the same levels of achievement as in the standard setting year. The PLD development, standard setting, and equating procedures for the NJ ASK are described in detail below. A. Determining the Proficiency Levels for the NJ ASK 3–8 New Jersey Department of Education (NJ DOE) staff, working with staff from Measurement Incorporated (MI), developed initial draft PLDs. On May 30, 2008, NJ DOE and MI staff presented draft PLDs for grades 5–8 to committees of New Jersey educators meeting in Princeton for further review and revision. Likewise, on May 28, 2010, New Jersey educators met to review and revise draft PLDs for grades 3 and 4. At these one-day meetings, participants made numerous suggestions for revisions, which NJ DOE staff collected and integrated into final PLDs. These final PLDs serve as descriptive benchmarks for subsequent standard setting committees, also comprising New Jersey educators, which establish the Proficient and Advanced Proficient performance cut off scores for the base year, the year to which subsequent administrations are ultimately equated, in each of the content areas. Districts may find the PLDs useful for relating test scores to curriculum content when interpreting test results” end quote.
