Why scores can vary between assessments
It is normal for scores to vary slightly between assessments, even without significant learning in between. This happens because:
- The conversation is adaptive and explores different angles each time
- Your responses on a given day are influenced by focus, energy, and the specific examples you choose
- The evaluator samples from a space of possible questions, so different sessions surface different aspects of your knowledge
Variation of 1 point in a dimension is normal. Consistent movement of 2 or more points indicates real change. If you see a big swing in a single dimension, it usually means the conversation happened to probe an area where your knowledge is uneven.
