Translating Findings into Scores at the Standard/Sub-Standard & Reporting Section-Level
Table 26 illustrates how the 7 sub-standards (1.a – 1.g) of Standard 1 are scored using both binary and Likert scoring systems. Under binary scoring, “Yes” findings for Sub-Standards 1.a, 1.e, and 1.f, each contribute 1 percentage point, and the “No” finding for Sub-Standard 1.g contributes 0 percentage points to the Standard 1 score. Under Likert scoring, a finding of 2 for Sub-Standard 1.b contributes 0 percentage points, a finding of 4 for Sub-Standard 1.c contributes 0.75 percentage points, and a finding of 5 for Sub-Standard 1.d contributes 1 percentage point to the Standard 1 score. Taken together, the actual score in this example is 4.75 percentage points out of a maximum possible score of 7.00 percentage points for Standard 1.
| Standard/Sub-Standard ID (1) | Reviewer's Finding (2) | Maximum Possible Score (3) | Actual Score (4) | Explanation (5) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.a | Yes | 1.0% | 1.0% | Binary: Yes = 100% No = 0% |
| 1.b | 2 | 1.0% | 0.0% | Likert: 1,2,3 = 0% 4 = 75%, 5 = 100% |
| 1.c | 4 | 1.0% | 0.75% | Likert: 1,2,3 = 0% 4 = 75%, 5 = 100% |
| 1.d | 5 | 1.0% | 1.0% | Likert: 1,2,3 = 0% 4 = 75%, 5 = 100% |
| 1.e | Yes | 1.0% | 1.0% | Binary: Yes = 100% No = 0% |
