Each score point is characterized by a variety of descriptors of work that would receive that score. In fact, some of the descriptors may seem to contradict each other because the range of possibilities for work at a given score point is so great. But the descriptors should all capture characteristics of work that merits each score. Because there are only six different points on the scoring scale, each score point also represents a band or range of accomplishment.
