To determine the student’s final examination score, find the student’s total test raw
score in the column labeled “Raw Score” and then locate the scale score that
corresponds to that raw score. The scale score is the student’s final examination score.
Enter this score in the space labeled “Final Score” on the student’s answer sheet.
Beginning in June 2011, schools are no longer permitted to rescore any of the
open-ended questions on this exam after each question has been rated once,
regardless of the final exam score. Schools are required to ensure that the raw
scores have been added correctly and that the resulting scale score has been
determined accurately.
Because scale scores corresponding to raw scores in the conversion chart change from
one administration to another, it is crucial that for each administration, the conversion
chart provided for that administration be used to determine the student’s final score.
The chart above is usable only for this administration of the Regents Examination in
Physical Setting/Physics.
