ITED Test--How it will affect your 2nd quarter grade-USH and CWI Students

All social studies students will be graded on their ITED Social Studies score this year. It is based on being proficient(41%) or improving your score from the previous year. We will also be using the Extra Credit Incentive system as well. More on that later. This is how we will grade students for the ITED: 1. Students who are proficient will get a 100% score added to their 2nd quarter grade. 2. Students who increase their score, regardless of proficiency, will get a 100% score added to their 2nd quarter grade. 3. Students who are not proficient and their score drops by 1-4 points will get a 75% test grade added to their 2nd quarter grade. 4. Students who are not proficient and their score drops by 5-9 points will get a 70% test grade added to their 2nd quarter grade. 5. Students who are not proficient and their score drops by 10 points or more will get a 65% test grade added to their 2nd quarter grade **The number of points a test is will be determined by each teacher.

I think that this is a very good way to make people try on their test, and it is going to be very easy to get 100% as long as you try your best. If you don't try it makes our school look bad.

I will explain it in class soon but I can say with certainty that it will be the easiest way for someone to get a 100% test this year in my class.

  But you get a 100% if you are proficient or improve. You can go down from a 90% to a 55% and still get a 100%.

its unfair, but easy to improve your grade. They are trying to get kids to try.

So if we do good on the ITEDS and get a high score then we get a 100%. But if we do poorly and dont do so well then we dont get
a 100%. I am confused

from what i understand, this seems kinda unfair. so if you improve like two or three questions you automatticaly get 100 percent??
