NOTES:
1. The information contained within this document should be interpreted with caution. These
tests were not designed to set a passing score based on a certain percentage of items having
to be answered correctly across all forms of the tests.
2. All test forms for a content area and grade are statistically equated and are balanced for
content.
3. The academic achievement standards (cut scores) were determined by panels of North
Carolina teachers evaluating actual test scores and test items.
