楼主的问题也是我想知道的，我也家长听说过类似的问题，还有关于学校对学生的评定，我听女儿学校的家长说，学校给学生的打分也很重要，各学校的理念不一样，举例说吧，如果满分是一百分，一个很不错的学生，在A学校给 ...

Selective High School Placement Profile Score
Frequently asked Questions
What is the calculated profile score?
The calculated profile score is a mark out of 300 which is used to rank candidates applying for selective high school placement. For most students the calculated profile score is provided at the bottom of the letter or email advising the outcome of their application.
What other scores can I ask for?
You can complete a request for scores form (pdf 36kb) and, apart from the calculated profile score which most people receive on their outcome letter as well, you will receive a letter or email detailing the following: (Note that all marks requests will be processed together at the end of August, and each subsequent month until December.)
1. School assessment scores
Schools provide school assessment scores based generally on the student's performance on the school's curriculum in Year 4 and up to the end of Year 5. Schools have the discretion to set their own assessment criteria. The scores are provided for:
English out of 100
Mathematics out of 100
2. Test scores
Students take the Selective High School Placement Test and receive the following set of scores:
Reading out of 45
Writing out of 20
Mathematics out of 40
General ability out of 60
What do the school assessment scores mean?
The school assessment scores for English and mathematics rank all candidates from a particular school applying for selctive high school placement in order of merit showing the relative gaps between the students.
For example, a school with five candidates may provide the following school assessment scores:
Students
English
Mathematics
Student A
95
72
Student B
83
89
Student C
79
91
Student D
77
90
Student E
64
61
How does the selection committee use the school assessment scores?
These scores tell the selection committee how the students are performing in their own school environment, but the selection committee needs to see how that performance ranks with the performance of all other candidates in the other schools in the state.
Therefore, as part of the calculation these school assessment scores are moderated to make them meaningful across the state and to give them the same weight as the scaled test marks.
How are the school assessment scores moderated?
The mean (average) and standard deviation (spread of scores) of the English and mathematics tests are calculated for all of the students from each primary school who sat the test.
The mean and standard deviation are applied to the school assessment scores for English and mathematics.
What happens to the test scores?
For each test component, the test score is scaled to a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 12. In other words the average score correct out of 45 for Reading is scaled to 60 out of 100 and all other scores are calculated relative to that score of 60. The process does not convert the test score to a percentage score.
What happens next?
The rest of the score processing averages the moderated school assessment scores and the scaled test scores for English and mathematics, rescales them to a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 12 and adds the scaled general ability score. The three scores out of 100 are combined to make the calculated profile score out of 300.
Can I compare my child’s score with the score of a child from another school or a previous year?
No. Each school’s candidature is used to moderate its own school assessment scores quite separately from any other school so comparisons between students at different schools are not valid. Comparisons between students at the same school in previous years are similarly invalid as each year has a totally different test and a totally different school candidature.
Is the calculated profile score the only score used for selective high school entry?
For most students the calculated profile score is the score on which students are considered. However, for a small group of students, selection committees have the discretion to consider factors which may have prevented students from showing their true academic merit. These factors may include a student’s disability, language or cultural background or any illness suffered during the test. In these cases, scores can be adjusted by the selection committee.
Can students ever achieve a score of 300?
It would be very unusual for a student to achieve a score of 300 for selective high school placement as the test is very difficult and school assessment scores rarely moderate to 100 but the top score tends to be between 270 and 280.
What score does a student have to gain to be successful for selective high school placement?
There is no set score which students have to achieve to be successful for selective high school placement. The minimum entry score for each selective high school depends on the score achieved by the candidates for that school and can vary from school to school and from year to year. |
