The scoring rubric evaluates open response questions on a scale of 0 to 4 based on how completely the question is answered, the use of explanations and scientific terminology, and sentence structure. A score of 4 represents an advanced level where all parts are fully answered with explanations using scientific terms and complete sentences. Lower scores have fewer answered parts and less sophisticated language.
