what is the distribution on a regents exam by number of people who score each level between 0 and 5
The Regents performance levels are typically reported on a 0–5 scale, but the number of students in each level depends on the specific exam, administration date, and school or state dataset. New York State says Regents exams use a 0–100 scale that is converted from raw scores, and performance levels are tied to score ranges rather than fixed counts of people.
Score levels
A commonly used mapping is:
| Level | General score range |
|---|---|
| 0 | Below the exam’s reporting threshold or not classified |
| 1 | Lowest performance band |
| 2 | Approaching proficiency |
| 3 | Meets proficiency / passing |
| 4 | Above proficiency |
| 5 | Highest mastery band |
What “distribution” means
If you want the distribution by number of people , that is usually shown as a frequency table or chart with:
- Level 0: count of students.
- Level 1: count of students.
- Level 2: count of students.
- Level 3: count of students.
- Level 4: count of students.
- Level 5: count of students.
That data is not fixed across all Regents exams; it has to come from a specific report, school, or state dataset.
Practical example
For one Regents exam, the distribution might look like 8% at Level 1, 14% at Level 2, 31% at Level 3, 29% at Level 4, and 18% at Level 5, but those percentages would change for a different subject or year. The exact counts would be those percentages multiplied by the number of test takers.
What I need
To give you the exact distribution, I need the specific Regents exam name and year, such as Algebra I, Living Environment, or U.S. History, plus the test administration if possible.
