    • Raw Score = 67
    • Subject/ Scaled Score=31
  • Math = 54/60
    • Raw Score = 54
    • Subject/ Scaled Score=32
  • Reading = 33/40
    • Raw Score = 33
    • Subject/ Scaled Score=30
  • Science = 37/40
    • Raw Score = 37
    • Subject/ Scaled Score=33
  • Composite Score = (31+32+30+33)/4 = 31.5
