[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We attended the Lake Braddock rising 7th-grader orientation last week and were told that the SOL criteria was a [b]perfect score[/b], not just pass advanced.  Does anyone know of LB students who took Honors Algebra without a perfect SOL score? [/quote]

I haven't heard anyone say either way.  I just wanted to add that I looked up last year how many questions a kid has to get right to pass an SOL and how many for adv. pass.  I was surprised to learn that you "Pass" and SOL by getting HALF the questions right (like 25 out of 50).  You "Adv. Pass" by getting only 5 or less wrong (i.e. you have to get 45 out of 50 right).  I thought that was a pretty harsh distinction... or maybe the passing score is just too low.

Either way, I was surprised that they were so different.  Getting adv. pass is pretty close to getting a perfect score.  I don't think that should be a distinction that separates those who are qualified to take Algebra I and those who aren't.  [/quote]

Thank you.  Wow, so there is a huge range of "Pass" scores.[/quote]
