The real scam is as the scale goes higher it goes "upside down". I'd have to double check but I believe you needed a 93% raw score to get a 90% scaled score. <br /><br /> As usual it's a NYSED cop-out. Incredibly low score to pass, but to earn a "3" or "4" it's incredibly difficult. That way they can say there are too many 2's out there (but without the parents going nuts- which isn't really working out anyway).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-33476169061052059622015-09-07T14:35:36.803-04:002015-09-07T14:35:36.803-04:00Notice that NYSED has yet to release statewide pas...Notice that NYSED has yet to release statewide pass/fail rates for the new Common Core aligned Algebra I Regents test which is a graduation requirement.
