    This document provides the scale score cutoffs and percentages needed to meet or exceed standards on the 2011-2012 Georgia Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) for grades 3 through 8 in reading, English/language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. It shows the minimum number of correct answers and percentages required at each grade level to meet or exceed standards in each subject. For example, in 3rd grade reading a student would need to answer 18 out of 40 questions correctly, which is 45%, to meet standards. The document also notes that the Georgia Department of Education provides explanations for why meeting standards can be achieved with answering only around 45-52% of questions correctly.

    Numbers in red, indicate the minimum percentage of correct answers required to Meet and Exceed
    Standards.
    If this was a classroom administered assessment, the number in red would be the students grade, if
    the number of correct answers matched the Raw Cut (Cut Score). Reading examples by grade:
    o

    Third, 18 correct answers of 40 questions, equals a 45


    Fourth, 21 correct answers of 40 questions, equals a 52
    Fifth, 18 correct answers of 40 questions, equals a 45
    Sixth, 18 correct answers of 40 questions, equals a 45
    Seventh, 19 correct answers of 40 questions, equals a 48
    Eighth, 19 correct answers of 40 questions, equals a 48

    The Georgia Department of Education (GaDoE) does not agree with my analysis and provides a nicely
    written treatment, explaining why answering only 45, or 48, or 52 percent of the questions correctly
    indicates a successful level of mastery. You can read it by following the Cut Score Q and A link.
    The GaDoE occasionally moves or eliminates pages, if the link fails email me at nekb@charter.net.
