Each section score is based on a scale ranging from 20 to 80. For the Reading and Mathematics sections, your score is derived from the total number of questions you answered correctly. Your score for the Writing section is based on your performance on the two essays. If you did not pass the Writing section, the features of your writing that may need improvement are indicated for each essay that did not meet the passing standard.  \nYour total CBEST score was obtained by adding your scaled scores for the Reading, Mathematics, and Writing sections. If you have retaken sections of the CBEST, the highest score obtained on any section, at any CBEST administration, was used to calculate your total score.  \nThe passing score for each section of the CBEST is a scaled score of 41. A total CBEST score of 123 is required for passing status. However, it is possible to pass the CBEST with a scaled score of 37 on one or two sections, provided that the total score is 123 or higher. It is not possible to pass the CBESTif any section score is below 37, regardless of how high the total score may be.  \nSkill Area Performance. Your performance on the multiple-choice test questions for each skill area is indicated next to the skill area title. The information will help you assess your areas of strength and weakness and/or will help you prepare to retake any section(s) of the test. For each skill area, you will see one of the designations that appear below.  \n++++ If you answered most of the questions correctly (scaled skill area score of 61–80)+++ If you answered many of the questions correctly (scaled skill area score of 41–60)++ If you answered some of the questions correctly (scaled skill area score of 31–40)+ If you answered few or none of the questions correctly (scaled skill area score of 20–30)  \nWriting Scores. Essays are scored by California educators according to standardized procedures during scoring sessions held immediately after each CBEST administration. Scorers with relevant professional backgrounds are oriented to these procedures and are carefully monitored during scoring sessions. Writing scores are determined by scoring each of the two essays holistically according to the criteria described in the CBEST Writing Score Scale (see reverse side of this flyer) . Each essay is evaluated independently by at least two readers using a four-point score scale; the total essay score is derived by combining the two individual scores. To obtain the Writing section score, scores for both essays are summed and converted to the score scale of 20 to 80.  \nEssays that do not meet the passing standard are scored diagnostically after holistic scoring is completed. The diagnostic scoring provides feedback about the weaknesses exhibited in each essay that did not meet the passing standard. The following written performance characteristics, which are incorporated in the CBEST Writing Score Scale (see reverse side of this flyer), are evaluated during diagnostic scoring.  \nI. Rhetorical Force: the clarity with which the central idea or point of view is stated and maintained; the coherence of the discussion and the quality of the writer's reasoning  \nII. Organization: the clarity of the writing and the logical sequence of the writer's ideas  \nIII. Support and Development: the relevance, depth, and specificity of supporting information  \nIV. Usage: the extent to which the writing shows care and precision in word choice  \nV. Structure and Conventions: the extent to which the writing is free of errors in syntax, paragraph structure, sentence structure, and mechanics (e.g., spelling, punctuation, and capital","cbCainGED9xMwJaX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainGED9xMwJaX","pdf",276792,"English","# Test Results Interpretation\n## Scoring Scale and Passing Requirements\n## Skill Area Performance\n## Writing Scores and Diagnostic Scoring\n## CBEST Writing Score Scale","[{\"question\":\"How is the CBEST total score calculated?\",\"answer\":\"The total CBEST score is the sum of the scaled scores from Reading, Mathematics, and Writing.
