Since the essays need to be sent to readers in order to be graded, students cannot view their Analytical Writing scores on the same day that they take the test. This number is the test-taker’s overall Analytical Writing score. Once each essay has been assigned a final score, those two final scores are averaged and rounded to the nearest half-point. However, if the scores differ by more than one point, a third reader resolves the discrepancy and determines the final score. If the two grades differ by less than one point, the average of those two grades becomes the final score for that particular essay. Essays are read and scored by two readers, each of whom gives the essay a grade on a scale from 0 to 6. The Analytical Writing score is the average of a test taker’s score on the Issue task and his or her score on the Argument task. Students who choose to cancel their scores do not have the opportunity to view those scores at any time. Students who choose to keep their scores can view their Verbal and Quantitative scaled scores immediately. Upon completing the test, students must decide whether to keep or cancel their scores. Through a process called equating, which takes into account the difficulty of the questions, the raw scores for both the Verbal and the Quantitative portions are converted into scaled scores on the 130 – 170 scale. The total number of questions that a student answers correctly on a both sections of a given type is the student’s raw score for that portion of the test. Answering more difficult questions increases the potential for a higher scaled score. The better a student’s performance on the first section, the more difficult the second section. the level of difficulty of the questionsīoth the Verbal and the Quantitative portions of the test are section-level adaptive, meaning that a student’s performance on the first section of a type determines how difficult the second section of that type will be.the number of questions answered correctly within the time permitted.
