68% On the Reading
I received a raw score of a 64% actual score was a 222 prior. I've seen someone post up here that 65% raw score is 227. Just wondering what are your thoughts??
Aug 9, 2019

Whether 65% correct (a raw score) on the reading test corresponds to a score of 227 (a scaled score) volition depend on the specific version of the reading examination that the examination taker faced. Versions of a exam, and individual questions, inevitably differ in difficulty, and and so 65% correct on a less hard version of a test could represent a lower level of achievement than 64% right on a more than difficult version. Scaling the scores is intended to compensate for those differences. Just the consequence is that whatsoever claim that a given percentage (raw) score is e'er equivalent to a given scaled score is artificial.

futuremaths, I surmise that you lot meant this mail for the thread on English Learner policies in California. This thread concerns raw scores on the Virginia Communication and Literacy Assessment (VCLA).
Aug 9, 2019

Thank y'all for communicable that! Could you switch it over or is that non possible?
Aug 10, 2019

I did attempt. But while there are things that the current software for A to Z makes easier than the old software did, shifting posts betwixt threads or forums is definitely not among them.
Your best bet is to movement it yourself: (a) get to the post that needs to move, (b) click "Edit", (c) copy the text from the edit window, (d) cancel "Edit", (e) locate and open the destination thread either from the Recent Posts window or by navigating to the ESL/ELL forum and rummaging it upward, and (f) paste what yous've copied into the new-post window there.

Copying from the edit window is non strictly necessary for a URL as curt as the one you posted, simply information technology'southward adept to be in the habit of doing so because forum software truncates long URLs for display, so "way_too_honking_many_letters_to_display_in_this_space.qqq" might get "way_too_honking...infinite.qqq"; the truncated link works as it is supposed to in the original mail service, but when one copies it from the regular forum page, what gets pasted is likely to be literally "way_too_honking...infinite.qqq", ellipsis and all, and even if it shows upwards red like a link it probably won't function as one.

I'one thousand a Special Education major. In May 2019, I took originally the Reading and Writing back to back and ran out time. Previously, I received:

Reading subtest eighty% =255

Writing subtest 54% = 208

Total score = 463 (Need 7 points to pass)

Thursday (viii/22/nineteen) I took the VCLA Writing again. I'm praying I've passed this time. This version of test was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I guess it all comes down to my short answer questions and writing section. I have to pass this or I have to look another semester to take my practicum class/student teaching which I demand to graduate. And so frustrating and nervous.

Writing subtest threescore% = ?? (Don't have my scores yet and I'1000 so nervous.)
Sep 24, 2019

I but took my VCLA reading and writing. I got a raw score of 82% in reading and 68% in writing....any thoughts on if I passed?!?
Oct 7, 2019

Hello! New user here. I'm a potential career switcher and I just got back from the VCLA. I was curious what this group's thoughts on my passing might exist.
I got 85% on the Reading subtest.
I got 80% on the Writing subtest.

Withal, I merely had 20 minutes left by the fourth dimension I got to the summary and persuasive essay; by this point I was panicked. I was able to blindside out 150 words on the summary. I would say information technology was slightly less to very average.

Merely, I was merely able to crank out 200 words (it asked for 300 - 600) on the persuasive essay. It had iii very minor paragraphs and I tried to necktie it up. I hitting submit at about vii seconds left.

Anyhow, just really curious what more experienced folks might have to say. Equally for me, I guess I wait ten days while I consume the "retake the written portion" pill. I judge I should have researched the exam more and realized I was a slower reader. Should take washed it in two parts.

I'll make sure to report back with concluding scores.

Gut feeling is that you will pass. You lot did yourself a solid with the reading score. Information technology is going to create some breathing room, since it doesn't take to be 235 in each section, only 470 for the total. You lot followed with a very nice score on the multiple choice portion of the writing subtest, once again giving yourself more than actress points to count on. Your actual writing might be less than stellar, just yous won't need a super loftier score, when you expect at the cushion your other scores take given you. No champagne yet, but in only 10 days you will have your email with the final tally, and I'm betting on a passing score.
FYI, my son is a slow reader, and my only "must do" when he signed up to take the test was that I was determined about breaking information technology into ii days. He passed in a unmarried endeavor, merely would never have been able to exercise that in a single solar day of testing. I'k guessing that your other scores will deport you to success, just if y'all practice have to retest, it will only be the writing.

Allow us know how you did.
October 9, 2019

I tin't thanks enough for your kind words and back up. Y'all'll go me through this trying 10 day wait. I take prepared myself for both scenarios. Will keep you in the loop!

Hoping that you have passed the exam and are on to bigger and better things!
Oct 17, 2019

Cheers for thinking nearly me! I'm yet waiting on the results. If they stick to the ten business day agreement, I should know today or tomorrow by 10PM EST. Will definitely report back as soon as I hear from them; I'm chomping at the bit to know.
In the meantime, I was able to pass the Praxis 5038 (ELA 6-12), which I wrote most on another thread. That was purely multiple choice, which was prissy. I have my sights on the Technology Education Praxis next.
Oct eighteen, 2019

How-do-you-do again! My VCLA score study *just* came in. Right on the tenth day.
Reading Subtest: 268
Writing Subtest: 214
Overall: 482 (PASS)

And so, yous chosen it, vickilyn. The reading score saved me. Thanks over again for all your help and reassurance.

I did not take that 1 over notwithstanding. The highest I have received on the reading was a 222 raw score 64%. I had a raw score of 68% and score was only 221. I don't know what to do.

Several questions. Are y'all normally a good test taker? Are you a native English speaker? Have y'all used both versions of the practice tests to report from? When you take that practice tests, are you getting scores exceeding 80 on the reading test? I ask because using the practice reading tests tin indicate where weaknesses are and that helps pinpoint trouble areas.
I am going to share a postal service I wrote almost my son's experience with VCLA:
My son and, by extension, I were very grateful to those who have posted on this forum. He took the exam in split format, over 2 days, which is highly recommended for a slow reader, for whatsoever reason. He took the reading test on a Saturday, used up most all time, and earned 88%, which scaled to 286. He took the writing test the adjacent day, and one time once more used all bachelor time. The percentage was scored at 80%. He completed all writing assignments and essays. The scaled score for the writing was 244. Total score was 530.

As he told me near the examination, Instructor Groupie's post was highly relevant: Ah. Process of elimination is a great kickoff; y'all but need to be a niggling more than fine-grained in what you're eliminating. The correct respond is the one that comes closest to being fully true, even if one of its details is less specific than another reply. Pay attention to the details; if demand be, use your scratch paper to match up details you're given in a passage with details suggested by a possible reply.

In studying for the reading, my son used a system where you use the practise tests (in that location are 2), and afterwards taking them completely a couple of times, outset to concentrate on the questions you lot have missed, exclusively. Immediately score the shortened test, write out what you lot think went wrong when you miss it, inquiry if needed, and then take the "missed" items again. Soon you should exist able to get to near 100% correct. Most importantly, yous spend a lot of time understanding your mistakes, learning exactly what the examination is asking you to look for. It is a learning feel. Proceed yourself honest and have the whole tests on occasions. My personal testing routine has been to do this in the evening. When finished, get straight to bed - no phone, no Goggle box, no music. Your encephalon is a wonderful computer that continues to piece of work as you sleep, forming neural pathways that go far easier to access the material subsequently.
My son has a vision problem that makes him a slow reader, then I knew that there would exist no way to laissez passer it in ane super hard examination session. When he signed upwards, we considered it money well spent to take the test in two sessions. He probably could have passed the reading in the philharmonic scenario, but with a lower score. I am certain that he would not have passed the writing portion. He said he watched the time very closely equally he was writing, and he finished with simply 4 minutes left.

I took the practice tests, to understand how the test was structured. I take multiple endorsements, including English, Scientific discipline, Elem. Ed., and Social Studies, and have earned very high Praxis scores in all of my content exams, only I initially struggled with the VCLA. I believe I could laissez passer information technology with time and serious study, merely I am certain of one thing - it is a difficult test to master, and it should be given serious consideration by anyone who needs to pass it to stay employed, such as qualified teachers from other states moving into Virginia. If you wait till the last minute, yous are welcoming serious stress that could impact your score.

Best of luck to those who accept yet to take this test.

Sorry I'm tardily to the party.
VCLA is a Pearson exam; Pearson uses plus-mark operation indicators, on a calibration from + to ++++, to betoken how many raw points a exam taker earned in a given domain or examination subarea. I'm fairly sure that + correlates to 25% or fewer of available points; that y'all've scored + in three out of five exam areas is troubling. I'll also approximate that it's the multiple choice questions that are giving you grief. And vickilyn is probably correct that you're having trouble picking out the right respond from the distractors (and, yes, "distractor" is what the people who brand tests like this telephone call the seductive reply choices that aren't the right answer).

My first recommendation is that you piece of work through LearningExpress's fine and affordable Reading Comprehension Success in 20 Minutes a Solar day, paying particular attending to the sections on main ideas and relationships of ideas. In your example, following up with the more logically rigorous Reasoning Skills Success in 20 Minutes a Day might be in order.

Took the examination January 18. The impress out I got was
Reading Raw: 85%
Writing Raw: 65%
Got my Scores 10 days later.

Reading Score: 264
Writing Score: 230
I gauge my writing was pretty good? I got +++ in everything only
Utilise principles of judgement & paragraph construction
Apply noesis of mechanical conventions in standard English
Improve ineffective writing by analyzing

Although I dont know how I tin can exercise adept in all the topics but take poor construction in writing. Whateves I passed. Never have to practice this again, thank god.
Feb vi, 2020

Just took the writing again for the 2nd time. I scored lower this fourth dimension than the 1st. Starting time test had raw score of 78 (reading) and 80 (writing) I passed the writing with 235 but failed the writing.
This time my raw score in writing is a 68%. I am freaking out. I was confident I was going to score much college. I scored 235 on the reading on the first become round and then I Literally need 235 on the writing to laissez passer. I froze (again) when it came to the essays. Anyone meet this or have seen a miracle with a low raw score in writing but still pull off a 235 I know I have to wait the 10 days merely it'southward going to drive me nuts knowing this is my 2nd time taking it and waiting to meet if I passed.

Feb 8, 2020

Th
Thanks for the hug. I recall then. I always got high scores on my higher papers. I have a Main'southward degree but these tests make me feel incompetent. I read and read and read again but when I went to write the essay, I couldn't form 1 sentence.
Feb viii, 2020

Hey all! Just started my career switcher process past taking the VLCA today. Such a long exam! It was far trickier than I predictable.
My Raw Scores I received today were every bit follows:

Thanks!!
April 16, 2020

If yous read through the posts, you will note that the score on the reading is lower than ideal, simply that doesn't mean information technology can't become you close to 235, but it could exist a little less and the writing could salvage you. The score on the writing is for the l% of the test that was multiple choice. The other one-half of the score will be determined by your actual writing assignment. That makes that ane almost impossible to call. How do you call back you did on giving them just what they asked for? Here is what I accept learned from following the VCLA threads - the all-time news is that you simply have to await ten days for the results, AND, if you lot score well on one half, merely are low in the other, yous will have the unabridged test time to spend on any you end up needing to repeat. Allow me wish you the best of luck.

I was but able to complete the summary writing portion earlier running out of fourth dimension.
Apr sixteen, 2020

It is so hard to tell. My scores were very similar and I did non just that is non to say that you volition non. I don't think in that location is a Magic manner to calculate these scores looking at that manner. My first fourth dimension effectually, I passed the reading with a 235 (rs 80%) merely failed the writing (rs 78%). I took the writing again (improved my score) just non high enough for a combined score of 470 soooo I decided to take my chances with the reading again and I finally passed because my reading score went up. Once again, this does not mean you lot volition not pass. I saw raw scores lower than mine laissez passer on the starting time effort without even finishing the essay. The waiting flow is awful. All-time of luck!

My guess is that y'all may come upward slightly curt, only information technology would be very nice if one of the two sections got you up around 230-235. My son struggled with standardized tests because a vision trouble would forcefulness him to go back and start over if he lost his place while reading. The loss of reading fluidity cost him a lot of fourth dimension. He has learned to compensate better over the years, but for this test, we enrolled him to take each part of the test separately, giving him four hours for both sections. He said that he monitored his fourth dimension carefully, and each department took him about iii.v hours, but it was time he was in control of. Without being stressed, he was able to score a crude score of virtually 87% on the reading, and that gave him a huge absorber when it came to the writing. Because he had 3 hours and 45 minutes to invest in the writing portion the next twenty-four hours, he scored quite well. In the grand scheme of things, I am certain that it would have cost him much more to try to have both sections the same day, first, since he almost certainly would take concluded up taking the ii sections separately on pinnacle of that. Since he was already pedagogy, it was more important to give him the best shot at passing each department on the kickoff try, then I paid for the second day testing fee to provide that absorber.
Let me wish you the very best, and assure yous that you are welcome to share your results in most ten days. Nosotros volition cheer y'all on, or make suggestions that may help you be more successful if you need to echo any portion of the exam. I have said before that I don't remember this is an easy examination - I played effectually with the practice tests while my son was studying. There'southward something nearly the fashion questions are phrased that felt awkward to me, and I struggled to become into the rhythm of the test - trust me, I've taken a lot of standardized tests, and it would accept me a bit to conquer this one, although I understand it improve now than I did then.

If y'all just need 235, I'd say you should be very close. That said, if yous demand every i of those points, it may be too tight to call. As I have said to others, the best part of this VCLA is that y'all will become your respond in only 10 days, which is much meliorate than many other tests. Allow u.s.a. know your score, good or bad, equally I tend to accumulate them just for my own knowledge of how this test tends to score. Wishing you the best.

Well non really. I suffer a lot from examination anxiety and I cease upwardly overthinking which makes me get the wrong reply. I took the VCLA writing sub test today and received 74%. I too completed the essay and summary so I'chiliad hoping my 71 and 74 equals to 470.
