It's providing another reason for parents to be disappointed in their kids.  A 600 might be mean all correct answers.  They may have gotten a question wrong.  So a 600 is a lousy score.[/quote]

Please. The scoring is confusing and little is done to explain what is happening with the scores. Why is a perfect score not a 600?

The SOLs don’t mean anything, except for 6th grade math. But I do appreciate understanding what the scores are telling me. [b]The reality is DS has always passed advanced which tells me only that he is meeting the minimum standard that the state has set[/b]. That said, it would be great to know why a perfect score is not a 600 and why a score that is not perfect is a perfect score. [/quote]

No, you've got that wrong.   A pass indicates that he has learned everything in the standards.  The SOLs are not bare minimum tests, not sure why some people think that.  [/quote]
From the Math SOLs:
"The standards and Curriculum Framework are not intended to encompass the entire curriculum for a given grade level or course. School divisions are encouraged to incorporate the standards and Curriculum Framework into a broader, locally designed curriculum. T[b]he Curriculum Framework delineates in greater specificity the minimum content that all teachers should teach and all students should learn. Teachers are encouraged to go beyond the standards[/b] as well as to select instructional strategies and assessment methods appropriate for all students."
