[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any student on a standard diploma track or advanced studies diploma track has to take and pass 5 SOL's (science, math, history, reading, writing).

Credit accommodations - all students regardless of IEP or diploma status get 1 credit accommodation freebee.  This means the student takes the SOL and scores between a 375-399, receives remediation and takes the SOL again.  It does not matter what the student scores on the retake as long as the student scored anywhere between a 375 and 399 on the first attempt.  That student will get the SOL verified credit.

Students with IEP's on the standard diploma track - still have to take and receive credit for 5 SOL's however, they can have credit accommodations for all SOL tests they take (not just 1).  They can have a reduced cut score of 350 instead of 375 (but they still have to score a 375 or higher on the retake to get the verified credit). They also have access to alternative tests for the reading and writing SOL if the they do not pass the first time.  These tests are more business related and students tend to well on them.

Student's with IEP's on advanced studies track only get 1 SOL credit accommodation so choose wisely.

Things are always changing, but this is how it is now.[/quote]

a retake is not the same thing as a credit accommodation[/quote]
