  3. Scores on each individual competency can only be given in whole numbers (i.e. 4,3,2,1).  The use of scores with decimals does not promote consistency and is strongly discouraged.  If the student is thought to be part-way between two numbers, the student has not yet attained the higher score; therefore, the lower, whole number score should be given.
