*Note: The default Scoring method is Do Not Standardize Scores. Standardizing scores is generally required when combining two or more independent assessments. When using multiple assessments with different rating scales, standardizing scores for each assessment ensures assessment scores can be appropriately combined to determine an applicant’s final score. The Standardize using custom values setting should only be used in consultation with an assessment professional or your USA Staffing Account Manager.
