Weakness Pattern

WORKSHEETS FOR COMPONENT RETESTING IN MATHEMATICS A

To be eligible for component retesting in Mathematics A, a junior or senior must have done both of the following:

taken the Mathematics A Examination at least twice AND

earned a score between 48 and 64 on at least one of the two Mathematics A Regents Examinations taken most recently. Any junior or senior who has not scored at least 48 on at least one of his or her last two Mathematics A Regents Examinations is not eligible for component retesting and must retake the entire examination.

Pages 2-7 are worksheets for determining which component(s) the eligible junior or senior is to take. Make separate worksheets for each eligible junior or senior. Then follow the steps below.

Fill out Junior/Senior Worksheets A and B using information from each of the two most recent Mathematics A Examinations the student has taken.

Use Table A—Mathematics A Regents Examination Map to Learning Standards/Criterion Scores for Components to compute the student’s component scores for the examinations. The information from the Map to Learning Standards and the credit for each question appears on the table. Follow the directions at the top of page 2 to fill in the table.

Note: The junior or senior’s score for each component is the number of credits the junior or senior earned on the questions for that key idea, not the number of items correct.

For the January 2004 examination, items 1–35 are worth 2 credits, items 36 and 37 are worth 3 credits, and items 38 and 39 are worth 4 credits. For all examinations administered prior to January 2004, items 1–25 are worth 2 credits, items 26–30 are worth 3 credits, and items 31–35 are worth 4 credits.

If all of the student’s scores for an examination are not available, use Table C—Determining Weaker Component(s) When Complete Examination Data Are Unavailable.

Indicate which component(s) are considered weak for each component/key idea on the examination(s) by putting a check mark in the box in the last row of Table B—Mathematics A Data Table.

Proceed to Table D—Weakness Pattern/Determining Component(s) for Retesting.

Place a check mark in the third column of Table D to indicate which row matches the student’s pattern of weakness.

If the student’s higher score is between 55 and 64, the next-to-last column of the table identifies the one component for retesting.

If the student’s higher score is between 48 and 54, the last column identifies the two components for retesting.

Place check mark(s) in the Component(s) to Retest section of Table B. This indicates the component(s) the junior or senior is to take in April 2004.

Complete Table A by entering the scores from the eligible student’s Mathematics A answer sheet for the examination questions listed below. Add the student scores for each component and write that number in the column labeled "Sum." If the sum for a component is less than the criterion score given, place a check mark						in the box to indicate that the student score was weak in that component. Copy the pertinent data for the student to Table B. Then use Table D to identify which component(s) the junior or senior is to take.

DETERMINING WEAKER COMPONENT(S)

WHEN Complete Examination Data ARE UNAVAILABLE

In some extraordinary circumstances, your school may not have complete data for each eligible junior or senior. If your school has the junior or senior’s final score for an administration of the Mathematics A Regents Examination but does not have other data, use Table C below to determine which component(s) should be considered the weaker component(s) for that administration.

Table C—Determining Weaker Component(s)

When Complete Examination Data Are Unavailable

All Examinations
Scaled Score	Weaker Component(s)*
48–54	4 & 7
55–60	4
61	7
62	4
63	7
64	6

*The data in this column represent the weakness patterns for the Mathematics A Regents Examinations administered in June 1999 and June 2000.
