Scaled Scores

In addition to Benchmark Level scores, the STAMPe assessment also provides Scaled Reading and Scaled Listening scores. Scaled scores are much more detailed than Benchmark levels (Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced) and sub-levels (low, mid, high). Scaled scores can be used to track incremental progress within the levels (pre- and post-testing) and measure growth of student cohorts. Learn more about STAMP scaled scores here.

Scaled Reading and Listening scores columns will be shown within the STAMPe Report for the following languages: English and Hebrew.

We plan to provide scaled scores for other languages in the future.

Scaled Score Ranges

Note that for the scaled scores the standard error of measurement (SEM) is approximately 10 scaled points for an individual test taker’s results. Keep this in mind when comparing scores for two different test takers or when interpreting a test taker’s score in a higher-stakes testing situation such as the Seal of Biliteracy.
