SCORING KEY AND RATING GUIDE
Mechanics of Rating
The following procedures are to be followed for scoring student answer papers for the
Regents Examination in Algebra 2/Trigonometry. More detailed information about scoring is
provided in the publication Information Booklet for Scoring the Regents Examinations in
Mathematics.
Do not attempt to correct the student’s work by making insertions or changes of any kind.
In rating the open-ended questions, you may make check marks in the exam booklet to
indicate student errors. If the students were given scannable answer sheets for the multiple-
choice questions, be careful not to make any stray marks on the answer sheet that might later
interfere with the accuracy of the scanning.
Unless otherwise specified, mathematically correct variations in the answers will be
allowed. Units need not be given when the wording of the questions allows such omissions.
Each student’s answer paper is to be scored by a minimum of three mathematics
teachers. No one teacher is to score more than approximately one-third of the open-ended
questions on a student’s paper. On the back of the student’s detachable answer sheet, raters
must enter their initials in the boxes next to the questions they have scored and also write their
name in the box under the heading “Rater’s/Scorer’s Name.”
Schools are not permitted to rescore any of the open-ended questions on this
exam after each question has been rated once, regardless of the final exam score.
Schools are required to ensure that the raw scores have been added correctly and
that the resulting scale score has been determined accurately.
Raters should record the student’s scores for all questions and the total raw score on the
student’s detachable answer sheet. Then the student’s total raw score should be converted to a
scale score by using the conversion chart that will be posted on the Department’s web site at:
on Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Because scale scores
corresponding to raw scores in the conversion chart may change from one administration to
another, it is crucial that, for each administration, the conversion chart provided for that
administration be used to determine the student’s final score. The student’s scale score should
be entered in the box provided on the student’s detachable answer sheet. The scale score is the
student’s final examination score.
