[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here we go, there's some information in the middle of this article on the cut scores: https://virginiamercury.com/2023/03/29/virginia-explained-the-debate-over-student-expectations/[/quote]

Thanks this article shows some light . I wish they had a detailed report on SOL results just like this report stating cut score calc . [/quote]

There is a detailed report that you receive for the SOL tests.

What that article hints at but does not say is that the SOL tests change, with the test difficulty and the cut score changing every few years, getting easier and harder.  [/quote]

It does say that buried towards the end, in the board's perspective section. It talks about how you can't judge the cut score without knowing how the test itself changes and has a table showing the cut scores back to when the SOLs first started. They change every 7 years (confirmed that now via the article), but on a staggered schedule between math and LA. Article does not cover high school SOLs.[/quote]

FWIW, we are currently in a harder cycle with the SOLs - the pandemic and learning loss are additional factors on top of that. [/quote]

This is what DD says. The old SOL questions available through SOLPass for instance, are stupidly easy, and not at all helpful for preparing for the actual SOL they're administerered.

DD says that the math SOL (Geometry) does not appear to be adaptive, because there were 5 different question banks, and depending on which one you got, the questions were pretty much the same. Further, that it seemed like the question bank changes with ever 3 kids (by last name). So for instance, she and her friend with the same last name got the same test. The IRW SOL was adaptive.
