There is :not passing, pass or pass advance. Stop trying to justify a score that is not passing. Or blame a teacher. Their final won’t be anything like a sol. Most likely no multiple choice questions( most Honors classes at least or maybe just a few for regular Geometry).

+1 I don’t get why these kids took the Geometry SOL in the first place as it wasn’t required. We will be opting out now that DS has his math verified credit.

Same for our 7th grader. Usually gets 600.

This time 568, missing one M question on "Use coordinate methods to identify a transformation." - in all fairness though it's completely possible to miss one question. He also didn't get a 100 average this year, achieving only 3158 out of 3183.5 possible points (= 99.20%) in SiS. 3158 hard earned points, though, when you consider that missing a single answer on a test usually is -6. We're still proud of him.

For 99.20% you don’t need the zero at the end. Just 99.2%. Or even better, round it to whole digits. I promise you, no context will be lost, everyone will still be super-impressed by 99%.

3158 / 3183.5 is
99.198994817%
so 99.20% is correct rounding with sig figs.

99.2% could be as low as 99.15%, which is more than 0.045pp below the actual score.

Hahaha. Your choice of 2 sig figs is arbitrary. Why stop there? Why not 7? After all, this was hard-earned. I’d expect you to be more precise.
