A total raw score (left column) is converted to a total scaled score (right column). The total scaled score may range from 0 to 600. A scaled score of 400 or more means the student passed the SOL test, while a scaled score of 399 or less means the student did not pass the test. A scaled score of 500 or more indicates the student passed the SOL test at an advanced level.
