Organizing Test Scores
ORGANIZING TEST SCORES F

OR STATISTICAL
ANALYSIS
Organizing Test Scores By Ordering Ordering

refers to the numerical arrangement
of numerical observations or measurements.
2 Ways by which test scores can be arranged: 5.
Ascending order – from lowest to highest 6.
Descending order - from highest to lowest.
Example
The following are scores obtained by 10 students in

their quizzes in Math for the first grading period:
110, 130, 90, 140, 85, 115, 125, 95, 135, 100
Organizing Test Scores B y

Ranking Ranking is the process of determining the
relative position of scores, measures or values
based on magnitude, w orth, quality, or importance.
Steps to Rank Test Scores
1. Arrange the scores from highest to lowest.

Assign serial numbers for each score. The l ast
serial number has t o correspond to the total
number of scores arranged in descending order. o
Assign the rank of 1 to the highest score; and the
lowest rank to the lowest score.
o
In case, there are ties, get the average of the serial
numbers of the tied scores
R = (SN, + SN, + SN, ...)
NTS
Where: R = rank
SN, = serial number of the first score SN, = serial
number of the second score SN. = other serial
number NTS = number of tied scores
Example
Rank the following scores obtained by 20 first

year high school students in spelling:
4
15 4
14 8 6
10 7
9 8
8 10
8 9
7 14
6 12

Organizing Test Scores through a Stem-and-Leaf

Plot
In this method of organizing scores, a

numerical score is s eparated into two parts, the
stem which is the first leading digit of the scores,
while the trai ling digit is the leaf.
Procedures
0
Split each numerical score or value into two sets of
digits. The first or leading set of digits is the stem,
and the second or trailing set of digits is the leaf.
List all possible stem digits from lowest to highest.
For each score in the mass of data, write down the
leaf numbers on the line labeled by the appropriate
stem number.
Example
59
Construct a stem-and-leaf plot of the
following periodic test results in Biology 30 74 80

Steps o Arrange the scores in descending order.

List them in the x column of the table.
Tally each score in the tally column

Preparing Grouped
Frequency Distribution F ind the lowest and highest
score. Compute the range. Determine the class size
and class interval. Desired number o f classes is
from 10 to 15.
Determine the score at which the lowest Interval

should begin.
It should be multiple of the class size. Record the
limits of all class intervals, with the highest score
value at the top.
Tally raw score in t he appropriate class intervals.

Convert each tally to frequency.
Prepare a grouped frequency distribution for the

following scores obtained by 50 students in a
periodical test in Mathematics

Setting Class Boundaries and Class Marks
s boundary is the integral limit of a

Clas
class.
The apparent limi ts of a

class are
comprised of an upper and lower limit.
The real or exact limits of scores in a class

extend from one-half o f the smallest unit of the
measurement below the value of the score to
one-half unit above.
Class mark is the midpoint of a class in
grouped frequency distribution.
It is used when the potential score is to be

represented by one value if other measures are to
be calculated.
CM = (LL + UL)
Derived Frequencies from Grouped frequency

Distribution
3 Types of Frequency Distributions that may

derived from a frequency distribution table. 3.
Relative frequency distribution indicates
what percent of scores fall within each of the
classes. RF = (FIN) 100
Exercises
1. Rank the following test scores. Indicate on the

space
opposite each score its appropriate rank. 83 87 91
80 6483 75 90 98 86 72 71 79 80 65 84 83 93
90 68
2. Construct a stem-and-leaf plot for the test scores

above.
A group of 24 high students who took the entrance

examination test obtained the following scores on
numerical ability test:
26
