[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh that’s nreresrong, regarding not every question correct. I just assumed that’s what it was. Do you mind explaining?

We did not prep for the test. I think my kid loves math and is ahead of his peers but that does not necessarily mean he’s going to ace math easily through high school and beyond! I just wasn’t sure how rare a 600 is and couldn’t find any statistics on it online. [/quote]

Because it’s a scaled score. Here’s a definition of a scaled score:
“A scaled score is a representation of the total number of correct questions a candidate has answered (raw score) that has been converted onto a consistent and standardized scale.”

There are 60 questions on the test. The testing board determines how difficult the test is and how many questions a student must answer correctly. Then then assign a corresponding scaled score to that number correct. For example, they might say that any kid who gets 37 out of the 60 questions correct will pass with a score of 400, and anyone who gets 48 questions correct will get a score of 500 (pass advanced) From there they might say that any kid who gets 58, 59 or 60 correctly will translate into a scaled score of 600.
