Exploring relationships between students’ results on the responding and creating questions provides a broader picture of student performance. On average, students who performed well on the responding questions also performed well on the creating questions. For example, students performing above the 75th percentile on the responding scale also had the highest average creating task score (62). Lower-performing students at or below the 25th percentile on the responding scale had the lowest average creating task score (40).
