Example Calculation
Sample Student Scores
English: 45 correct (out of 75) = 21 scaled
Math: 35 correct (out of 60) = 22 scaled
Reading: 25 correct (out of 40) = 23 scaled
Science: 24 correct (out of 40) = 24 scaled
Composite Calculation
Average = (21 + 22 + 23 + 24) ÷ 4
Average = 90 ÷ 4 = 22.5
Composite Score = 23 (rounded)
Percentile: 71st
