- For the World Language tests with a multiple-choice (MC) section and a constructed-response (CR) section (Spanish, French, and German) and Latin)
- Total scaled score = (MC section 1 scaled score) (MC section 1 nominal weight) + (CR section 2 scaled score) (CR section 2 nominal weight)
- The result is rounded to the nearest integer.
- Example: An examinee that achieved a scaled score of 220 on the multiple-choice section and a scaled score of 260 on the constructed-response item section would receive a total test scaled score of 228, calculated as follows:
Total test scaled score
= (.8 * times 220) + (.2 * times 260)
= 176 + 52
= 228
For the World Language tests with a multiple-choice section and 4 constructed-response (CR) sections (Chinese [Mandarin], Arabic [Modern Standard], Russian, and Japanese)
- Total scaled score = (MC section scaled score) (MC section nominal weight)
+ (CR section 1 scaled score) (CR section 1 nominal weight)
+ (CR section 2 scaled score) (CR section 2 nominal weight)
+ (CR section 3 scaled score) (CR section 3 nominal weight)
+ (CR section 4 scaled score) (CR section 4 nominal weight)
- The result is rounded to the nearest integer.
- Example: An examinee that achieved a scaled score of 220 on the multiple-choice section and a scaled score of 260, 250, 240, and 230 on the four constructed-response item sections would receive a total test scaled score of XXX, calculated as follows:
Total test scaled score
= (.35 * times 220) + (.2 * times 260) + (.15 * times 250) + (.15 * times 240) + (.15 * times 230)
= 77 + 52 + 37.5 + 36 + 34.5
= 237
