C2 score of 2.5 means?

by Worried

Dec 9, 2016

In C1 I got a 3.074 (3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.294 respectively)

How am I to best understand the 2.5 score for C2 since it falls between the rubric levels of 2:limited and 3:clear? Should I plan to retake C2?

As an MC/GEN candidate what are ballpark minimums to certify in C3 and C4? These are the components I'm working on this year.

NMteach12 Don't worry. You are way above the 1.75 needed.

Is there a book I can buy that helps with component 1?

What Works Yes. It's called Successful Strategies for Pursuing National Board Certification; Version 3.0, Components 1 and 2. The sequel for Components 3 and 4 are available this week - both are on amazon.

What is your subject area? I found that going through old AP tests helped. I also read a book on history of my particular subject area.

I just got scores back from C2 and C3. I'm doing C4 this year and here's what I have so far.

C1, E1: 2 C1, E2: 3 C1, E3: 3 C1, SRIs: 3.188 C2: 3 C3: 2

If I can score a 3 on C4 then it looks like my total weighted score is 2.67. If I were to retake C1, E1 and get a 3 my weighted score would be 2.74.

Do I just need to suck ...See More

Weighted scores

by ENS

Dec 10, 2016

C1- 3.047 C2-3.0 C3-3.0

How heavily weighted is C4 traditionally? If 2.75 is likely to be the cut off, I would need a 2.4- assuming everything is equally weighted-which I don't believe it will be. My question is will C4 be a major component or not?

Biophysteach According to the scoring guide, Component 1 "Exercises" 20&37; (total, so about 7&37; each) Component 1 SRI 20&37; Component 2 15&37; Component 3 30&37; Component 4 15&37;

That being said, we obviously don't know the total score we are shooting for.

Hey all,

I got the following

Comp 1 - 3.038

Comp 2 - 2.000

Comp 3 - 3.000

Should I take component 2 again or should I be ok as long as I get a 2-3 for comp 4?

Need help!

Thanks!

Oly I am not exactly sure. I was just looking for information and found that the maximum they could receive (in 2013) was a 4.25 score on a component so maybe 425? Not sure though.

Will scores be released at midnight on December 9th into the 10th, or will I have to wait until a certain time on that day?

view previous comments

Waiting for Scores Last year I remember that they were actually released about 10 pm Pacific Standard Time on Friday night, so that would be 1 am Eastern Standard Time. I am going to be trying starting at 9 pm tonight since I am in the Pacific time zone.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!

MC Gen-Component 2

I'm currently working on the "Planning and Teaching Analysis" section of the written commentary. The guiding questions say, "What overall writing goals are addressed by these two writing assignments?"

I had a common goal for both the expository and narrative pieces which was... "My overall writing goal was for each...See More

What Works Chelsea, goals usually are broader, more general, and yes, vaguer than objectives. Goals aren't always measurable. They often contain the words, "The students will understand ___." The objectives are narrower, more specific, and are measurable. Learning the objectives help the students achieve the goals. Objectives are often worded, "...See More
