    The document provides guidelines for scoring the Assessment for Basic Literacy (ABL). It outlines the steps to accurately score the ABL, which includes scoring multiple choice items, the Personal Information Sheet, and recording the scores. The scores will be used to determine what level of adult literacy classes an applicant will attend. Interpreting the scores includes referring to benchmarks to identify the appropriate class level and competencies that need further improvement. The results and discussions will help develop an Individual Learning Agreement for the applicant.

    Guidelines for Scoring the Assessment for Basic Literacy (ABL)

    These guidelines are prepared to ensure the accuracy of scoring the Assessment for Basic Literacy
    (ABL). It is very important to follow these strictly because the results will be used to determine the level
    training the applicants will attend when they are accepted to the ALS program. Their performance in the
    major skills that will be measured in the ABL will show the overall preparedness of the learners, as well as
    identify the competencies in which he needs further improvement.

    PRE-SCORING PREPARATION

    I. Form to be scored (whichever form may have been administered)


    1. ABL-NLF (Neo-Literate test in Filipino)
    2. BL-NLFE (Neo-Literate test in Filipino and English)
    3. ABL-PL (Post-Literate test in Filipino and English)
    4. PIS Personal Information Sheet

    III. Steps in Scoring

    a. Score M-C items per part


    b. Obtain the Total Score for each part (one point per correct item)
    c. Obtain the Total Score of the test (sum of all part scores)
    d. Score the PIS
    e. Obtain the Overall Score (Total test score plus the PIS score)

    ACTUAL SCORING OF THE ABL

    I. Scoring the Multiple Choice Items

    a. Be ready with the scoring key for the multiple choice items of the test form taken (ABL NLF,
    ABL NLFE, or ABL PL).
    b. Score each item for each test part with the corresponding answer key.
    c. Write the total score in the boxes provided for each test part in the Answer Sheet.
    d. Obtain the Total Score of the test parts and write this on the space provided.

    II. Scoring the PIS

    a. Check if you have recorded the score for the oral items, which should have been done
    during the administration of the PIS.
    b. Check the responses to the writing items. Give one point for each correct response.
    c. Obtain the total score for the Oral items and the Writing items.
    d. Add the Oral and Writing scores to obtain the PIS Total score.

    III. Recording the Scores

    a. Write the total scores for the M-C test parts.


    b. On the Learner’s Score Sheet, write the total scores obtained in the PIS Writing and Oral
    items.
    c. Obtain the Overall Sore from the combination of the PIS scores and the M-C test parts.
    Write this on the Learner’s Score Sheet.

    INTERPRETING THE ABL SCORES

    1. Use of Benchmarks. Look at the Learner’s Score Sheet and study the scores obtained for each part
    of the test and the Overall Score. Refer to the Table of ABL Benchmarks to find out which level the
    total score falls. This will be the level at which the ALS teacher can assign the learner, where he will
    start interventions that the learner needs.

    2. Learning Competencies. Identify the item numbers which the learner answered incorrectly. Find out
    the competencies measured by these items (Refer to the Table of Learning Competencies). These
    will be the areas in which the learner may need more intervention.

    3. Individual Learning Agreement (ILA). Explain the meaning of the scores to the learners and the
    parents/guardians, if needed. At this point they can arrive at the proper Individual Learning Agreement
    (ILA) which includes the ALS levels and interventions which the learner will attend.
