An institution can only receive individual score reports if a , it has been approved by ETS as a "designated score recipient," and b , you have selected the institution to receive a copy of your score report. Most of the Praxis tests exist in several different editions. Different editions of the same test contain different sets of test questions conforming to predefined content and statistical specifications.
These different editions are commonly called forms. To ensure that scores obtained from different forms of the same test are comparable, raw scores are converted to scaled scores that carry the same meaning regardless of which form was administered. Scaled scores are used to determine whether test takers have passed the test. There is no way to guarantee that the questions on all editions of the test will have the same precise degree of difficulty. Therefore, to avoid penalizing test takers who answer more difficult questions, the initial scores are adjusted for difficulty by using a statistical process known as equating.
To avoid confusion between the adjusted and unadjusted scores, ETS reports the adjusted scores on a score scale that makes them clearly different from the unadjusted scores. Unadjusted scores, which are simply the number of questions answered correctly, are called " raw scores. Adjusted scores, which are equated to the scale we use for reporting the scores, are called " scaled scores.
The easier the questions are on a test edition, the more questions must be answered correctly to earn a given scaled score. Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions 1. How do I know which test s to take?
