[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advanced cut scores are barely changing. For example, the new algebra cut score of 453 will have a pass advanced score of 518. Geometry will be 452 and 510.

The entire thing is ridiculous but, fortunately, is being phased in so my daughter with a learning disability will be a junior by the time they're fully in effect. She has dyslexia and having to achieve a 474 on her reading SOL that year will be a struggle but there are some alternatives we can hopefully take advantage of.

[b]Also, for those talking about science, these cut scores are only being changed for math and reading and they will NOT be retroactive so no concerns for those of you whose kids have already passed under the old scores.[/b] [/quote]

Thank you so much! I was worried for a second… but still, I think this whole thing is really silly and if they want improvement they shouldn’t be changing test requirements, but the teaching and making sure students actually understand material. Making passing scores higher does not make kids magically get a higher score… [/quote]
