Interpretation of graphs and scores 

 

The green highlighted section of the graph shows a candidate's performance on the numeracy, literacy, and concept formation assessments relative to 5,000 work-seekers across South Africa who have been assessed by Harambee. In the report above, the first graph shows the candidate's numeracy score. In this example, the numeracy score falls in the "middle third" which means they performed better than at least one-third of the 5,000 people included in the comparison group and received a mid-level numeracy score. The second graph shows the candidate's literacy score. This candidate's score falls in the "top third" which means they performed better than at least two-thirds of the candidates in the comparison group and earned a high-level literacy score. The third graph shows the candidate's concept formation score. The candidate scored in the "lower third" which means they performed at a lower level than at least two-thirds of the Harambee candidates in the comparison group. A low-level concept formation score suggests that the candidate demonstrates an ability to solve less complex problems.
