What conclusions might be drawn from the patterns in these trends? Due to the revisions to the performance standards needed to make them more vertically aligned, if all other factors remained the same, you would expect the percent in Level 3 in 2004 to increase by 3.2 percentage points. You would also expect to see 1.2 and 2.0 percentage point decreases in Levels 2 and 1 respectively, but you would not expect that Level 4 would be affected.
