Common use of Scoring, Standardizing, Weighting and Combining Test Scores Clause in Contracts

Scoring, Standardizing, Weighting and Combining Test Scores. CONSULTANT shall be responsible for the scoring of all testing components. The testing instruments administered by the CITY have been validated by the CONSULTANT on the basis of criterion and content validation strategies. The written ability test shall be scored in a straightforward manner, with each of the 60 items being worth one point. The work style and biodata inventory scales shall be used to score the candidate’s work style and biodata inventory tests. CONSULTANT shall generate oral board scores for each candidate based on a statistical combination of assessor scores. If necessary, and based on discussions with the Project team, CONSULTANT will standardize scores by board and exercise version to ensure that any differences that occur as a result of board or exercise assignment are eliminated. Once the CONSULTANT has scored all tests, the CONSULTANT will standardize each test component and apply the prescribed weights to each component. These weights were derived on the basis of the job analysis and criterion-related validity results and finalized through joint discussion with the CITY’S Project team. The CONSULTANT shall then add the scores together to generate a total score for each candidate.
