After the close of the exam window teachers will receive the following reports via email. These reports disaggregate data in various ways so that teachers can identify strengths and weaknesses of individual students for specific standards, measurement categories, and learner outcomes; show growth from one year to the next; and/or report other variables as needed.
Percentile Report for Individual Measurement Categories
Percentage Report for Learner Outcomes in Interpretive Communication
NOTE: For privacy purposes, reports are ONLY sent to the teachers of record who administered the National Spanish Exam to those students.
When a student declares an incorrect category, the test results are still valid but they are unofficial. The student did not do anything which invalidated the answers to the actual test; however, because the scores are in the incorrect category, they must be removed.
Teachers can still recognize their students and award the appropriate certificate (Oro, Plata, Bronce, Mención Honorífica) by comparing the student's scores to the percentile chart for the correct category posted at http://nationalspanishexam.org/index.php/results/nationalpercentiles.
Unfortunately, because the student did not declare the correct category, the score cannot be added to the official results, and the student will not be recognized on the official list of winners at either the national or chapter levels.
