score bands

**score bands**

Score bands refer to defined ranges or intervals used to categorize numerical scores into meaningful groups. These bands help in interpreting raw scores by grouping similar performance levels together, making it easier to analyze and communicate results. Score bands are commonly used in educational assessments, standardized tests, and various evaluation systems to indicate proficiency levels, grade ranges, or performance tiers. Using score bands allows educators, analysts, and users to quickly understand where a score falls within an expected range and facilitates comparison across different datasets or time periods.
