The ELA 627 score would only be applicable to computer-based tested students. Student who took a paper-based ELA test would have to get 629, since the next lowest score on that test is 625, which is below the cutoff. [ Reply | More

Yes, I know. I was just pointing out that if a student took a paper-based test, it's not possible to get a 627 on the ELA. The lowest possible score on that test that would qualify is 629. Only students who took a computer-based test could get a 627. [ Reply | More

If you took the computer-based test, 627 is enough. It doesn't have to be higher. [ Reply | More

can i ask a dumb tangential question? What the heck is the point of having two scoring systems -- the 6__ number and the 3.__ and 4.__? Why can't the state pick one and use it for everything instead of all this converting? [ Reply | More

There are actually 3 scores: the number of questions correct, the 600 number which is a normed version of the percent correct, and the 3.x,4.x number which is politically decided to make big announcements as to how many kids are at/above grade standards. This is why the percentage correct needed to get a 3 (or 4) is different for every grade and year. [ Reply | More

To be more precise, NY State decides what should be the level 3 and level 4 proficiency cutoffs, and they express the cutoffs in terms of the 6__ scaled scores. NY City then translates each student's scale score into a 3.__ or 4.__ number to give parents an idea of what their child's score means in terms of the proficiency ratings. For example, a 3.5 means that a child's scale score is half way between the level 3 and level 4 cutoffs. A 4.25 means that her scale score is half way between the level 4 cutoff and a perfect score.

BS. Prep is a tutor, a class. Taking one or two practice tests is familiarizing kid to format. [ Reply | More

I would try even if you don't prep. I know plenty of kids who got in and didn't prep and a lot who prepped and got shut out. Is your child a good/creative writer? [ Reply | More

If he got 618, he got 36 out of 44 questions correct. He would have needed 39 correct to make the cutoff. See the "NYS 2019_ELA5_Paper" tab here: http://www.p12.nysed.gov/irs/ela-math/2019/2019-raw-score-scale-score-conversion-chart-paper-based.xlsx . [ Reply | More

See the links in the post up above. "ELA5" refers to the 5th grade ELA test, "Math7" refers to the 7th grade math test, etc. [ Reply | More
