The scoretype is one of the following special keywords: Percentage Rawpoints Percentile NCE GE Stanine Scaled GAP Other Tip: If the goal is to display a score on a form, there is a form directive for showing scores that is much more flexible, versatile, and efficient than using this function. Additionally, a report using many of these functions can run slowly. Therefore, PowerSchool recommends using the screening group feature instead of using these functions in a report.
