Your score for the exam is made up of the total number of vocabulary questions you answered correctly and the amount of comprehension questions you answered correctly. The score you get on the comprehension section of the exam is worth double what the vocabulary section is worth. The two scores are added up and converted into a grade-level equivalent. Potential test scores may look like the following: 9.8, 11.2, 12.8. If a test-taker receives a score of 9.8 it means that their reading ability falls between a 9th and 10th grade level. Your score helps your school determine how difficult a course will be for you. It also helps in determining what needs to be done in order to raise your skill level.
