Scoring
A student must get 66 percent (raw score of 400) or higher on their SOL(s) in order to pass the test. A student's advancement to the next grade is not contingent on passing any SOL tests. Passing with 83.5% percent (500) is considered advanced/proficient. A perfect score is 600.
For students in grades 3-8, SOL scores are correlated to Lexile measures. A Lexile measure can be used to match readers with targeted text and monitor growth in reading ability.
