score. The amount of maximum scores gained is 25. It is

The points listed above are 25 multiplied by four. Therefore,
a top score in all five areas would result in 100 percent

or, in other words, native profiency. Some sort of scale like
this accompanies almost all speaking tests using holistic grading

based on assessment for five criteria. The rubric is made simply

with a maximum of 25 points on each of these 5 aspects, 100
points in all. The score is converted into 100 point scale by

multiplying it by four. Therefore, a top score in all five areas

would result in 100 percent or, in other words, native proficiency
(Madsen 1983: 169).
