Having said that, there are some things you need to keep in mind:
- You don't get points off for selecting the wrong answer, so make sure to answer every question.
- Multiple-response questions may be scored differently because they may have more than one correct answer.
- In reading questions with a Part A and Part B, you must successfully answer Part B to get credit for the question as a whole.
The total of all your earned points is your raw score for each section. Your raw score is then put into a mathematical algorithm to compute your scaled score. You'll receive this score (the scaled score) on your score report for each of the five areas. If you earn passing scores on all five sections, then you'll have passed the entire TASC test. The overall score is the average of the five separate subject areas. Passing scores for the subject areas are as follows:
- Language Arts–Reading: 500
- Language Arts–Writing: 500 and at least a 2 out of 8 on the essay
- Mathematics: 500
- Social Studies: 500
- Science: 500
