This document provides TABE practitioners with additional clarification on the TABE 11 & 12 scoring levels, explains the out of range (O/R) and plus/minus (+/-) score report symbols, and provides guidance on moving students to a different level ofTABE.  \nRelationship between TABE 11 & 12 Scale Scores and NRS levels  \nEach level ofTABE (L, E, M, D, A) has its own range of scale scores that are aligned to specific NRS levels. The following charts show the TABE 11 & 12 scale scores that correspond to each NRS reporting level. Practitioners can use this information to identify the NRS Level at which each student is performing.  \n\n| READING |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | NRS Level 1 | NRS Level 2 | NRS Level 3 | NRS Level 4 | NRS Level 5 | NRS Level 6 |\n| TABE L | 300–441 | 442–500 | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |\n| TABE E | 310–441 | 442–500 | 501–535 | n/a | n/a | n/a |\n| TABE M | n/a | 442–500 | 501–535 | 536–575 | n/a | n/a |\n| TABE D | n/a | n/a | 501–535 | 536–575 | 576–616 | n/a |\n| TABE A | n/a | n/a | n/a | 536–575 | 576–616 | 617–800 |\n\n\n| MATHEMATICS |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | NRS Level 1 | NRS Level 2 | NRS Level 3 | NRS Level 4 | NRS Level 5 | NRS Level 6 |\n| TABE L | 300–448 | 449–495 | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |\n| TABE E | 310–448 | 449–495 | 496–536 | n/a | n/a | n/a |\n| TABE M | n/a | 449–495 | 496–536 | 537–595 | n/a | n/a |\n| TABE D | n/a | n/a | 496–536 | 537–595 | 596–656 | n/a |\n| TABE A | n/a | n/a | n/a | 537–595 | 596–656 | 657–800 |\n\n\n| LANGUAGE |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | NRS Level 1 | NRS Level 2 | NRS Level 3 | NRS Level 4 | NRS Level 5 | NRS Level 6 |\n| TABE L | 300–457 | 458–510 | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |\n| TABE E | 310–457 | 458–510 | 511–546 | n/a | n/a | n/a |\n| TABE M | n/a | 458–510 | 511–546 | 547–583 | n/a | n/a |\n| TABE D | n/a | n/a | 511–546 | 547–583 | 584–630 | n/a |\n| TABE A | n/a | n/a | n/a | 547–583 | 584–630 | 631–800 |\n\nThe Out of Range (O/R) and plus/minus (+/-) symbols on the TABE 11 & 12 score reports indicate that the student scored at least one full level above or below the targeted level.  \nTABE 11 & 12 Score Reports: Out of Range (O/R) and Plus/Minus (+/-) Indicators  \nEach of the TABE test levels (L, E, M, D, and A) has content aligned specifically to a range of NRS levels and a student can only be classified into those NRS levels. Due to this content alignment, as well as measurement properties of each TABE level test, a student will be classified as “Out of Range”(O/R) if they performed more than one NRS level below the targeted level. They will not receive a scale score or an NRS level and they will need to take a lower TABE level test.  \nIf a student scores one NRS level below the targeted level, then a minus (-) sign will appear next to the scale score and their score will be set to the lowest possible scale score for that test level. In this case, the student may want to test with one level lower of TABE to better assess their ability level. For example, if a student tests with Math Level D and receives a score of 501- (see example below), then you may want to retest that student on Math Level M. Note that the 501-is a valid score and the “-” is only an indicator showing the student scored at the bottom of the scale. It could take additional instructional hours for a student to demonstrate a measurable skills gain.  \nIf a student scores more than one NRS level above the targeted level, then a (+) sign will appear next to the scale score and their score will be set to the highest possible scale score for that test level. In this case, the student is performing at the very top of the test level and you may want to test them with a higher level ofTABE to better assess their ability.  \nSAMPLE STUDENT PROFILE REPORT: OUT OF RANGE (O/R) AND PLU","cbCaigtblGujeeKp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigtblGujeeKp","pdf",165042,"English","# Overview\n# Relationship between TABE 11 & 12 Scale Scores and NRS levels\n## Reading\n## Mathematics\n## Language\n# Out of Range (O/R) and Plus/Minus (+/-) Indicators\n# TABE Score Reports: Out of Range and Plus/Minus Indicators\n# When to Move a Student to a Different Level of TABE\n## Score Report Symbol Guidance","[{\"question\":\"What do the O/R and +/- symbols mean on TABE 11 \\u0026 12 score reports?\",\"answer\":\"The O/R indicator shows a student scored more than one NRS level below the targeted level, so no scale score or NRS level is reported.
