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.
