How to Grade the SHSAT - Kweller Prep


HOW TO GRADE YOUR SHSAT TEST

The SHSAT test is graded on a very sharp curve. There are two sections on this exam, the English section which consists of scrambled paragraphs, logical reasoning, and reading comprehension and the math section.  Each section is graded separately. Each question is worth exactly 1 point except for the scrambled paragraphs which are worth 2 points each. The highest possible raw score is 100 whereas the scaled score is 800.

How to grade your own test:

1) Count the number of right answers per section and assign a point for each question, two points for each correct scrambled paragraph.

2) You will have two scores, one for each section. These scores are referred to as your 'raw score.' (Each score should be between 1 and 50)

3) Use the conversion chart below for each section to see what you would get per section when put on the scaled score.
