aConcept scores for each component measured are provided for each core concept represented in each narrative. Average student performance (%) is provided for all question types by core concept. The total points for RH (25 points) and SMAS (28 points) reflect the open-ended question scoring used at the time of the field test and do not reflect the finalized point distribution for open-ended question scoring, nor does the field-testing reflect the finalized BCCI template structure. Some core concepts and connections between core concepts are not represented in all question types; this is reflected in the table by “n/a.” For example, students are provided an example of how CC1 is represented in a narrative, and thus they do not complete an open-ended question referring to CC1.
