2008-2009 TAKS-M Cut Scores by Grade and Subject

For each TAKS–M assessment administered, Texas reports student scores with three categories of performance standards: Commended Performance, Met
Standard, and Did Not Meet Standard. Two cut scores were used to separate performance into these three categories. Scores below the first cut represent Did Not
Meet Standard, scores at or above the first cut represent Met Standard, and scores at or above the second cut represent Commended Performance. Cut scores
were recommended by educators from across Texas who are familiar with the content of the assessments, the student population taking the assessments, and
performance level descriptors for each performance level. After the educators recommended the cut scores, the cut scores were then approved by the
Commissioner of Education. For each grade and subject assessed, the chart below reports the two cut scores, the total number of points possible, and the percent
correct at the cuts.
