How does the scoring system of the Jumbled Competency (JC) model work, and what is the maximum possible score?

In the Jumbled Competency (JC) model, participants earn 1 point for correctly matching a pertinent action to a subcompetency, 1 point for correctly matching a behavior, and 1 additional point if an entire row (subcompetency, action, and behavior) is correct. With 10 rows worth 3 points each, the maximum possible score is 30 points.

The JC model presents 10 subcompetencies in a fixed order, with 10 pertinent actions and 10 behaviors shown in jumbled order. Scoring awards 1 point for each correct pertinent action, 1 point for each correct behavior, and 1 extra point when the entire row is correct, meaning the subcompetency, action, and behavior are all aligned. Since there are 10 rows and each row can earn up to 3 points, the total maximum score is 30 points. The source also shows that the resulting score distribution can vary, with an average score of 21 out of 30 in the pilot study, but the stated maximum remains 30.
