Spring 2014 Released Grade 8 Mathematics Standards of Learning Test Total Raw Score to Scaled Score Conversion Table

Total Raw Score

Total Scaled Score

If you get this many items correct:

Then your converted scaled score is:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50

0 194 225 244 258 269 278 286 294 300 307 312 318 323 328 333 337 342 346 351 355 359 363 367 371 375 379 384 388 392 396 400 405 409 414 418 423 428 434 439 445 451 458 466 475 484 496 510 530 562 600

A total raw score (left column) is converted to a total scaled score (right column). The total scaled score may range from 0 to 600. A scaled score of 400 or more means the student passed the SOL test, while a scaled score of 399 or less means the student did not pass the test. A scaled score of 500 or more indicates the student passed the SOL test at an advanced level.
