OS-33: Students' Scores on Diskette

DESCRIPTION

For archive purposes or additional analysis, OS-33 provides the students' scores in an ASCII file, on 3-1/2" diskettes, formatted for IBM PCs and compatibles.

For CTBS, a partial list of the scores on the diskette includes:

  • Raw Score
  • Number Attempted
  • Standard Score
  • Grade Equivalent
  • National Percentile Rank
  • National Stanine
  • Local Percentile Rank and Stanine, when OS-3 (Local Norms Reporting Service) is ordered

Descriptive information about the classes, buildings and system is also included in the ASCII file, but no class/building/system averages are provided.

NOTES ON OS-33 AND OS-36

Contact Nelson Education Scoring Service and request the ASCII File Layout, free of charge, for OS-33 or OS-36 for your particular test and form. The ASCII File Layout allows you to review the complete contents and structure of each type of record (e.g., student, class, building, system). No software is supplied with OS-33 and OS-36.

A copy of the ASCII File Layout is also included on the diskette, as a README.TXT file. This generic file can be viewed with most text editors and/or word processors, and can be printed on most printers.

The students/classes/buildings appear on the ASCII file in the same sequence as the sheets were arranged when you submitted your order for scoring.

To assist you in the identification of the classes and buildings in the ASCII file, a listing accompanies OS-33 and OS-36. It shows the numbers that are assigned to each class and to each building.

OS-30 (Score Suppression/Selection for Students and/or Classes) has no effect on OS-33 or OS-36.

The Predicted Grade Equivalent (PGE) scores that are associated with OS-35 (Combined CTBS/CCAT Report) are not included on the ASCII file for OS-33 or OS-36.

 

 

 

VARIATIONS

OS-33-XL is also available on special request, in Excel spreadsheet format, with a subset of the students' scores from OS-33.  Due to the limitations of the spreadsheet format, not all of the OS-33 scores are included in the Excel file.  OS-33-XL is available at the same price as OS-33.  Contact the Nelson Education Scoring Service if you have questions about any variations of OS-33, or if you wish to receive a sample of an OS-33-XL file.
