Scoring Guide
TEKScore
eLearning:
The Scoring tab displays the Max Score, Mastery Score, Factor, Points and Weight of each item on a test.
The scoring of an item is based on the item type and how many answer choices or points available.
Aside from teacher-scored or rubric-based extended text items, if a test key has items worth more than two points, there is a 'Use STAAR Scoring' option that appears at the top of the Scoring tab.
Check this option and click save to score like STAAR. This is where no item is scored above two points each.
Scoring Columns
Item Type - listed in the left column.
Extended Text
Teachers score these items from the responses and rubric section of TEKScore.
The default max score is four points for all extended text items.
Rubric items are, by default, weighted more on an assessment. Change the factor on non-rubric questions to equally distribute the percentages or weights of items.
The max range of rubric items is 9.
Max Score - The highest number of points awarded for an item.
Mastery Score - A flag indicating a student mastered a test question. Some reports in TEKScore show if a student mastered an item.
Factor - The factor of an item changes how much a question is worth on the test changing both the points and weight. Change the factor to zero if wanting to test students' knowledge without the item counting against their score.
Points - How many points an item is worth.
Weight - The percentage an item is worth on a test.
