[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 567 means he missed one question.

--algebra teacher[/quote]

No, that’s not true. A perfect 600 can actually miss a question. [/quote]

I mean, it depends on the form, yes. One student who misses one could end up with a 567, and another a 579. Two kids could get 100% but one is scored a 599 and one a 600.

In general (ONLY FOR THE ALGEBRA 1 TEST!)
50/50 = 600
45/50 = 500
26/50 = 400

If you get a slightly easier version of the test, your 26 is going to be scored a 398 while your classmate’s 26/50 is a 403. It’s not a perfect match. It is not a CAT, so no adaptive questions.

I have taught algebra for 15 years. A 567 is missing 1, maybe 2 questions.[/quote]
Our child's SOL "Student Detail by Question Report" does not list how many out of 50 they got right. However, it lists

"Expressions and Operations" -  Scaled Score of 50
"Equations and Inequalities" - Scaled Score of 50
"Functions and Statistics" - Scaled Score of 50
and a long list of checkmarks for each category along with H, M, or L item difficulty ("Model and Make Predictions for a set of data using the curve of best fit" is the only H in the latter - even though this is just typing values into Desmos...)

On top, it lists:

Vertical Scaled Score: 2000
Test Scaled Score: 600
Performance: Pass/Advanced

It is worth noting that the school did not share "vertical scaled scores" on any earlier assessments, though.  Presumably, this new vertical scaled score is for DCUM so that parents can now brag about their children's score by saying that their child got a 600 (2000) on the SOL to distinguish them from any hypothetical 600 (1950) scorers.
