Results are presented separately for each test and for the two tests combined.

In Tables 1 through 3, counts of examinees and examinations that are less than 5 are replaced with "<5." Counts that could be used to impute those that are replaced with "<5" are replaced with "<XX," where XX is the actual count rounded up to the next multiple of 5. For example, a count of 43 would be listed as <45. Percentages calculated using masked values are replaced with a dash (–).
