Two Major Types of Score Reports

Student Proficiency Report― Student-level information (proficiency levels and

scale scores) for communicating with parents/families

Group List Report― List of all students in a group (class) with student-

level test results (proficiency levels and scale scores)

― Summary of group (class) performance (average scores)

― Overall, Comprehension, Productive, Oral and Literacy scores are also provided

― Intended for teacher/administrator use


Overall, this student achieved the Intermediate proficiency level (Level 2); therefore, the student continues to receive TBIP services.

The student has an overall score of 435, and the score range is 432-505. 435 is only 3 points higher than the lower bound, 432, which shows that the student is at the lower end of Level 2 (Intermediate).

The student showed strength in Reading (at Level 2 and is close to Level 3), but is not at Level 4 (Transitional) yet. The student needs considerable support in Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing (all at Levels 1 and 2).

*Note: The report shows simulated data and may not reflect the finalized WELPA scale scores.


Performance definitions at the back of the Student Proficiency Report help you understand the meaning of each proficiency level.

One set of the PLD Translations document is provided for nine languages and is included in the School package.

More details about the test and proficiency levels can be found in the Interpretation Guide.


This group (class) has 10 students in total. The overall mean scale score, or MSS, is within the Level 2 (Intermediate) range. The mean scale score for Speaking is within the Level 3 (Advanced) range. The mean scale score for Listening, Reading, and Writing and is within the Level 2 (Intermediate) range. In this example, improvement in these four language domains should be considered in future instructional planning.



Within a group (class), students may show different performance patterns across domains. Using domain-level proficiency information may help the teacher not only target instruction based on the relative strengths and weaknesses of each student but also divide students into smaller groups for differentiated instruction or class activities.



Understanding Condition Codes on the Score Reports INV: Test Invalidation

− There were testing irregularities that made the scores invalid for use

REF: Refused to Test− The student refused to take the test for personal

reasons ABS: Absent

− The student was absent during the test administration IC: Incomplete

− The student made no (zero) responses in a subtest, and so an overall score could not be calculated AND/OR

− The student’s test booklet was marked INV, REF, or ABS for one or more domains of the test
