33Directions to the Teacher
Follow the procedures below for scoring student answer papers for the Regents Examination in
Physical Setting/Chemistry. Additional information about scoring is provided in the publication Information
Booklet for Scoring Regents Examinations in the Sciences.
Do not attempt to correct the student’s work by making insertions or changes of any kind.
If the student’s responses for the multiple-choice questions are being hand scored prior to being
scanned, the scorer must be careful not to make any marks on the answer sheet except to record
the scores in the designated score boxes. Marks elsewhere on the answer sheet will interfere
with the accuracy of the scanning.
Allow 1 credit for each correct response.
At least two science teachers must participate in the scoring of the Part B–2 and Part C open-ended
questions on a student’s paper. Each of these teachers should be responsible for scoring a selected number
of the open-ended questions on each answer paper. No one teacher is to score more than approximately
one-half of the open-ended questions on a student’s answer paper. Teachers may not score their own
students’ answer papers.
Students’ responses must be scored strictly according to the Scoring Key and Rating Guide. For open-
ended questions, credit may be allowed for responses other than those given in the rating guide if the
response is a scientifically accurate answer to the question and demonstrates adequate knowledge, as
indicated by the examples in the rating guide. On the student’s separate answer sheet, for each question,
record the number of credits earned and the teacher’s assigned rater/scorer letter.
Fractional credit is not allowed. Only whole-number credit may be given for a response. If the student
gives more than one answer to a question, only the first answer should be rated. Units need not be given
when the wording of the questions allows such omissions.
For hand scoring, raters should enter the scores earned in the appropriate boxes printed on the
separate answer sheet. Next, the rater should add these scores and enter the total in the box labeled
“Total Raw Score.” Then the student’s raw score should be converted to a scale score by using the
conversion chart that will be posted on the Department’s web site at:
on Wednesday, January 27, 2016. The student’s scale score should be entered in the box labeled “Scale
Score” on the student’s answer sheet. The scale score is the student’s final examination score.
Schools are not permitted to rescore any of the open-ended questions on this exam after each
question has been rated once, regardless of the final exam score. Schools are required to ensure
that the raw scores have been added correctly and that the resulting scale score has been
determined accurately.
Because scale scores corresponding to raw scores in the conversion chart may change from one
administration to another, it is crucial that, for each administration, the conversion chart provided for that
administration be used to determine the student’s final score.
