Reading Comprehension Ability Score



3-12 FAIR Web-based Assessment Module Reading Comprehension Score TypesFCAT Success Probability Score Range: 1-99% chanceCalculated based on student performance on the Broad Screen and prior year’s FCAT score. A 3rd grade student’s FSP is based solely on his/her performance on the Broad Screen, even if they are a repeating third grade student. The Green Zone is achieved when a student’s probability of scoring at or above Level 3 on the FCAT is 85% chance or better. The Yellow Zone is the largest of the 3 zones. It ranges from 16-84% chance of obtaining a level 3. The Red Zone is achieved when a student’s probability of scoring at or above Level 3 on the FCAT is 15% chance or less. Reading Comprehension Percentile ScoreRange: 1-99th percentilePercentile ranks are derived scores that are used to rank one student’s performance in relation to a specific group.On the Florida Assessment for Instruction in Reading, the specified group was a representative sample of Florida students, not a national sample.Reading Comprehension Standard ScoreRange: 55-145A standard score is used to compare one student’s performance to the performance of other students his/her grade. The standard score can be used to examine how different a particular score is from the norm sample mean.Standard score has a mean (average) of 100 with a standard deviation of 15.?Reading Comprehension Developmental Ability ScoreRange: 200-800, Mean: 500, Standard deviation: 100A developmental ability score is an estimate of the absolute level of a student’s ability on the test, and will increase as students develop their reading abilities.It is an estimate of ability that can range from about 3rd grade level to 10th grade level, and the ability score identifies where, along that interval of ability (3rd to 10th), the student falls.? FCAT Cluster AreasEach question on the Reading Comprehension passages is categorized into one of the four cluster areas: Words and Phrases in ContextsMain idea, Plot and PurposeComparisons and Cause/EffectReference and ResearchBased on the student’s performance on the Reading Comprehension, he/she will receive a score of:High (80th -99th percentile)Medium (30th -79th percentile)Low (below 30th percentile)Not enough information (if the student has answered less than three questions from a given cluster area)Reading Comprehension Lexile ScoreLexile reader measureRepresents a person’s reading ability on the Lexile scale** (this is what you will see on your reports)Lexile text measureIndicates the reading demand of the text in terms of word frequency and sentence length.Reported ranges for Lexiles from FAIR Broad Screen Reading Comprehension scoresGradeLowest Reported Lexile MeasureHighest Reported Lexile Measure3220L965L4220L1060L5220L1155L6220L1220L7220L1270L8220L1330L9220L1365L10220L1390L3-12 FAIR Web-based Assessment Module Maze Score TypesMaze Standard Score Range: 55-145A standard score is used to compare one student’s performance to the performance of other students his/her grade.
