Mathematics (09) Practice TestOPEN-RESPONSE ITEM EVALUATION INFORMATIONHow Open-Response Items Are ScoredOpen-response items are scored through a process called focused holistic scoring. Scorers judge the overalleffectiveness of the response rather than individual aspects considered in isolation. Scorer judgments are basedon the quality of the response, not on length or neatness. Responses must be long enough to cover the topicadequately and scorers must be able to read what is written.How to Evaluate Your Practice ResponsesOn the following pages, you will find two "strong" and two "weak" sample responses. PLEASE DO NOTREVIEW THE SAMPLE RESPONSES UNTIL AFTER YOU HAVE WRITTEN YOUR OWN RESPONSE.When you do review the two "strong" and "weak" sample responses and analyses included here, please note thefollowing points: For the purposes of the practice test, responses are identified as "strong" or "weak" rather than given ascore point of 1–4. The responses identified as "strong" may contain flaws; however, these responses do demonstrate theperformance characteristics of a "strong response." The two "strong" responses demonstrate the examinees' appropriate understanding and application of thesubject matter knowledge. However, these responses do not necessarily reflect the full range of "correctanswers" that would demonstrate an understanding of the subject matter. The "Analysis" accompanying each "strong" and "weak" response discusses the main attributes of theresponses, but does not identify all flaws or strengths that may be present.Compare your practice responses to the Sample Responses to determine whether your responses are more similarto the strong or weak responses. Also review the Analyses on those pages and the Scoring Rubric to help youbetter understand the characteristics of strong and weak responses. This evaluation will help you identify specificproblems or weaknesses in your practice responses. Further information on scoring can be found in the TestInformation Booklet and Faculty Guide at www.mtel.nesinc.com and at www.doe.mass.edu/mtel; select "FAQ,"then "After the Test."80
