In Star Preschool, you will see results reported in Scale Scores, which are compared to Benchmarks. Note that all Scale Scores and Benchmarks are based on Rasch values, which consider the difficulty of test questions in calculating a score. Scale scores for students typically range from approximately 10 to 70; extremes outside of these bounds are possible but far less common.
Scale scores can be used to compare, including a single child’s performance across time on an individual measure (e.g., Are scores increasing?) or different children’s performance at the same time on the same measure (e.g., Which students in my class are scoring relatively lower? Which students are scoring similarly?).
