2008–2009 ABOUT THE NEW MEXICO TEACHER ASSESSMENTS

All New Mexico Teacher Assessments are reported using the same scale. Your results for each test are reported as a score in the range of 100 to 300, based on your performance on all sections of the test. For those tests that contain constructed-response assignments, your score for the selected-response questions and your score(s) on the constructed-response assignment(s) are combined to obtain your total score. A scaled total test score of 240 represents the scaled minimum passing score for the test. A candidate with a scaled total test score of 240 or above passes the test. A candidate with a scaled total test score below 240 does not pass the test. The minimum passing score for each test is established by the PED based on the professional judgments and recommendations of New Mexico educators. Select “Score Reporting” on the New Mexico Teacher Assessments Web site for more detailed information about scoring scales and score reports.

Examinees who wish to retake a test may do so at any subsequent test administration. If you wish to retake a test, you must submit a new registration along with the correct payment. See “Test Fees and Payment Policies” for additional important information about retaking a test on consecutive test dates.
