raw scores

Unadjusted test results

Raw scores are the original, unadjusted numbers from a test or measurement before any statistical transformation.

A student might get 42 questions right out of 50—that's the raw score.

These numbers are then typically converted to percentiles, scaled scores, or grades for meaningful comparison: Her raw score of 85 placed her in the 90th percentile.
