Taking the TASC and Receiving Scores

Holistic Score

Your videotaped performance is scored on a five-point scale using a holistic scoring process. The principle underlying the holistic scoring process is that performance during the interview will be evaluated on the basis of overall sign communication proficiency.  Each point of the scale represents a degree to which effective communication is demonstrated in the performance with "E" the lowest rating and "A" the highest. The passing score for the TASC is set at Level C. Thus, performances rated at Levels A, B, or C are considered to be passing and represent the minimum level of competency required to be an entry-level educator in this field in Texas public schools.

Analytical Feedback

The TASC analytic feedback scale   provides additional information that further defines the criteria for effective sign communication. As a part of the scoring process, if you do not pass the exam, you will receive feedback on your score report indicating the performance characteristics in which you may want to focus your future study. For the TASC, these performance characteristics have been defined as range of communication, comprehension and intelligibility, as demonstrated through fluency, vocabulary/grammar, and use of space.
