CONT

In response to the task force initiative to improve hiring flexibility, the Department moved from point-by-point scoring to a broader band scoring (i.e., 100, 95, 90, etc.).

CONT

First, the raw score is determined which is generally the number of questions the candidate answers correctly. After the results are analyzed, a band score table is constructed for the test. The band score table is then applied to the raw score to determine the final score. Typically, a band score covers a range of scores and bands [that] are reported in five point increments. This method is called band scoring. Example : A range of raw scores from 45 to 47 are assigned a band score of 80. If you receive a raw score of either 45, 46 or 47, your final score would be 80.
