If PLTW EoC scores are used for purposes other than the appropriate uses listed in Section 1, it is the user’s responsibility to validate the use of the EoC scores for that purpose.
PLTW EoC scores are derived through the process of standard setting, which sets the cut scores for a test.
PLTW EoC score interpretations are criterion-referenced, which means that you can interpret a student’s EoC score to be a reflection of his or her understanding of the curriculum content standards. Criterion-referenced interpretation is not to be confused with a system that measures learning relative to the performance of other students, such as percentile ranks. To the contrary, each school year, there is no limit to the number of students who can receive any particular score on a PLTW EoC Assessment.
