For example, an NPR of 73 on the Reading sub-test means that 73 percent of the national sample scored at or below the student’s raw score, and 27 percent scored higher. The LPR compares a particular student’s scores with those of other students who took TACHS within the diocese(s) on the same day(s) . If a student obtained an LPR of 51 on the Reading subtest, then 51 percent of the students who took TACHS scored at or below the student’s raw score, and 49 percent scored higher.  \nIt is common for the LPR score to be quite a bit lower than the NPR as the LPR is comparing the student to the students within the diocese(s) that took the exam the same day(s), and it is much more competitive locally. Some students that are typically 90+ students are taking the exam with many other students that have always done the same.  \nAfter receiving reports, many parents call inquiring “I have the report, but what is my son’s/daughter’s score?”We only provide NPRs and LPRs. The information provided to you are the same ranked scores that were provided to your high school choices for helping to assist in acceptance decisions and are the only exam results that we provide. We do not provide percentage correct or raw scores, or scores typically provided for SAT or ACT exams.  \nThere are circumstances where a parent/guardian is quite surprised at the results, as the TACHS results don’t always align with scores students had received on private tutoring practice tests, or how they perform in school. The TACHS is a completely different test, and there are many students to compare their results against. Again remember, this test is highly competitive. A score of 50 doesn’t mean that the student had 50% of the questions correct or incorrect, it means that half the students tested scored above and half scored below the 50th percentile, and a 50 is still considered a good result.  \nThe scores have been thoroughly verified for accuracy, no retaking or rescoring of the exam is available.  \nOnce you have received these scores, you may submit a copy of the scores to any additional High Schools you intend to apply to.  \nFor additional information regarding your acceptance to individual high schools or scholarships, please contact the schools directly.","cbCaisEDwH0wvs1b","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisEDwH0wvs1b","pdf",100322,"English","# NPR and LPR Overview\n## What NPR Measures\n## What LPR Measures\n# Report Interpretation and Limitations\n## What the Scores Do and Don’t Represent\n## Verification and No Rescoring\n# Next Steps After Receiving Scores\n## Submitting Copies to High Schools\n## Contacting Schools for Acceptance or Scholarships","[{\"question\":\"What are NPR and LPR in TACHS reports?\",\"answer\":\"NPR (National Percentile Rank) shows the percentage of eighth-grade students nationally who scored at or below a student’s raw score.
