New York State 2006 Grade 8 Social Studies Conversion Chart

Chart for Determining the Final Test Score (Use for June 2006 test only.)

To determine the student’s final score, locate the student’s essay score across the top of the chart and the total Part I, Part II, and Part IIIA score down the side of the chart. The point where those two scores intersect is the student’s final test score. For example, a student receiving an essay score of 3 and a total Part I, Part II, and Part IIIA score of 64 would receive a final test score of 80.
