 * Performance Level Descriptors** - Student performance on the OCCTs is classified into one of two (//Satisfactory// or //Unsatisfactory//) or four performance levels (//Advanced, Satisfactory, Limited Knowledge//, and //Unsatisfactory//). The performance level names clearly convey a message about the level of student performance. On the other hand, because the names are so straightforward, there may be a tendency to pay insufficient attention to the performance level descriptors. When interpreting and using OCCT results, it is important to understand the specific knowledge and skills that a student must be able to demonstrate at each performance level. A level of knowledge that one district has regarded as Satisfactory may only meet the state's definition of Limited Knowledge. School personnel who understand the distinctions between the performance levels will be in a much stronger position to make full use of the OCCT results.

These are the same items as in the Item Specifications, however, these can be manipulated for classroom use. Grades 3-8 are in Word. End of Instruction will need Adobe Acrobat to manipulate.

Scoring Procedures 2004-2005- [|Grades 5 & 8] - - Based on a student's analytic scores, he or she will receive a composite score that ranges from 6 (the highest score) to 1 (the lowest score). This composite score is derived, in part, by assigning various weights to the six analytic traits. The weights are assigned percentages based on the importance of each trait and are supported by emperical evidence. This link give you an in-depth description on how a composite score is derived. Example Papers - Linked are actual student responses to a writing prompt from the previous year's administration. There are ten papers per Analytical topic ranging from 1 to 4.
