PASS Scoring Overview

  • All of the multiple-choice questions and most of the short-answer questions are computer-scored, with the scores made immediately available.
  • After students take the tests that are hand-scored, they must sign on to PASS a couple of days later to check the scores on the Information Station. Students must use the same Screen Name and password that were used when they took the test.
  • Students can click on to review the instructional feedback, the original question, their response, and a sample response.
