a sub score of HSK Basic is a scale score ranging from "0" to "100" with 50 as the mean and 20 as the standard deviation. The total score, which is the sum of scale scores for sub scores, is a scale score ranging from "0" to "300." The scale sub scores show the relative position of an examinee in a standard HSK Basic sample group. The type and grade of HSK Basic is based on the total score.

Scoring is the process of combining all the metric values according to specific formulas. Base Scoring is computed by the vendor or originator with the intention of being published and once set, is not expected to change. It is computed from “the big three” confidentiality, integrity and availability. This is the “foundation” which is modified by the Temporal and Environmental metrics.

Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) or the Chinese Proficiency Test is a standard examination for evaluating the proficiency of one's modern Chinese language.

Classifying is determining the proper crime category in which to report an offense to the UCR Program. Scoring is counting the number of offenses after they have been classified and entering the total count on the appropriate reporting form. Classifying and scoring offenses are the two most important functions that a participant in the UCR Program performs.

One important purpose of testing is to identify the differences in test scores that reflect real differences among candidates. Banded scoring is a statistical procedure for grouping test scores that statistically are not meaningfully different from one another. In banded scoring, bands are set objectively and mathematically. The people in a band are similar to each other in that statistically there is no meaningful difference in their scores.

Calcium Scoring is a CT screening exam with low radiation dose. It is for asymptomatic patients. Calcium Scoring is used to check for heart disease or to find out how severe heart disease is. The coronary arteries supply blood to the heart. Normally, the coronary arteries do not contain calcium. Calcium in the coronary arteries is a sign of Coronary Artery Disease. The radiologist will evaluate the images on a computer screen and determine the calcium score.

HSK is a general language examination, it is not based on any particular textbook or subject. Thus you may use any textbooks you prefer to prepare for the test. UBC HSK Center is a non-profit test center. We do not organize any preparation courses. Sample tests are available at our site for downloading. Some private education agencies, however, offer courses helping you know more about the test. You may register these courses at your own cost.

Students receive different band scores for all the four Sections. These scores are added and averaged for an overall band score. Each band has a statement giving a summary of the English at that level.
