This tool helps you convert your raw scores into scaled scores quickly and accurately.
How to Use the Scaled Score Calculator
To use the scaled score calculator, enter the following values:
- Raw Score: The score obtained directly from the test or assessment.
- Minimum Score: The minimum possible raw score for the test.
- Maximum Score: The maximum possible raw score for the test.
- Converted Minimum Score: The minimum score in the new scaled scoring system.
- Converted Maximum Score: The maximum score in the new scaled scoring system.
Once all the values are entered, click the “Calculate” button to see the scaled score.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator uses a linear transformation formula to convert the raw score into the scaled score. The formula is:
Scaled Score = Converted Min Score + (Raw Score - Raw Min Score) * (Converted Max Score - Converted Min Score) / (Raw Max Score - Raw Min Score)
Limitations
Please note that this calculator assumes that the distribution of raw scores can be linearly transformed into the new scaled score system. It may not be appropriate for all types of score distributions, particularly those that are non-linear or have other grading transformations applied.
