Rescoring Assessments - Performance Level Impact

If changes have been made in the Summary step, the Performance Level set may need to be revised. If no changes to the items have been made in the Summary step, Performance Levels may still be changed, or added if this step was originally skipped.

Changes to the point value (increase or decrease) of items may require an update of the Cut Points (Percentages) of the PL Bands to modify/alter the definition of the PL ranges. If the ranges are not modified, students might be placed in PL groups above or below the original definition because of the change in the overall scoring values.
