Performance Levels
Beginning in 2010, ELA and mathematics Proficiency standard scores were changed from 650, where they
have been set in the past
8th-grade Proficiency scores were set at a level that provides students a 75% chance of earning a college-ready Regents score*
3rd-7th grade Proficiency scores are set so that if a student makes a year’s worth of developmental growth, they will be on track for a college-ready
Regents score
* 75 or greater on the ELA Regents examination; 80 or greater on a math Regents examination
5
Each year, scores are “equated” so that performance levels have the same meaning from one year to the next. Because of year-to-year differences in
individual test items, the number of raw scores needed to reach a scale score or performance level can change.

Assessments Changes in 2011
• Broader and deeper content coverage:
– Questions will not be released, making tests less predictable and ensuring more comprehensive student readiness
– More multiple choice questions, to better measure ranges of student performance
– More essay writing on Grades 3, 5 & 7 English exams
• External research to evaluate score results
