Proj Scale Sco [4]: The projected scaled score for the student based upon the difficulty of the assessment and the percentage of correct answers.

Additional Categories
Note the following for the additional categories shown on the report:
- The performances on all the additional categories are given in Achievement Levels 1-5. Refer to Proj Ach Level description above for details on each achievement level.
- The aggregate data for teachers, schools and districts in each category are the averages of all student's achievement levels for that category.
- Under the names of the categories “n=#” indicates how many items there were under the particular category.
DOK [6]: Depth of knowledge indicates how each student performed on items for higher and lower order thinking skills. DOK levels 1, 2 and 3 are the categories for thinking skills. DOK Level 1 items are lower order while levels 2 and 3 are higher order.
Text Difficulty [7]: How each student performed in each of the three levels:
- Readily Accessible (Easy)
- Moderately Complex (Medium)
- Very Complex (Hard)
Reporting Category/GroupResults [8]: How each student performed in each of the reporting groups covered.
Note: The category used in the Results section depends on the subject and the number of standards covered on the assessment. If there are enough items per standard/objective (i.e., the most specific category available), the report is by standard/objective. Otherwise, the report is by a higher (less specific) category (i.e., strand, domain, etc.) that best reflects student understanding. Some categories may also be grouped together when most appropriate.
Genre Results (ELA only) [9]: How each student performed on the items for each of the Reading Genres:
- Literary
- Informational/Nonfiction
