Scoring models in competency‐based educational assessment

November 10, 2018

Assessments can be broadly classified into two categories based on how they are scored: compensatory or conjunctive. Compensatory models allow for strong performance in one content area to compensate for poor performance in another content area as long as the overall score meets the performance standard. Conjunctive scoring models require examinees to meet performance standards for each specified content area or some portion of content areas.
