In statistics and data analysis, a 

raw score is an original datum that has not been transformed.

This may include, for example, the original result obtained by a student on a test as opposed to
that score after transformation to a standard score or percentile rank or the like.

Simply put, a z-score (also called a standard score) gives you an idea of how far from
the mean a data point is. But more technically it's a measure of how many standard deviations
below or above the population mean a raw score is. A z-scorecan be placed on a normal
distribution curve.

A stanine (“standard nine”) score is a way to scale scores on a nine-point scale. It can be used

to convert any test score to a single-digit score. Like z-scores and t-scores, stanines are a
way to assign a number to a member of a group, relative to all members in that group.
