You can get up to 41 points on the entire 7th grade ELA test. The state then converts your total points into the real scores you see at the end of the year (like 2.8 or 4.0). To get a 4.0 you usually need at least 40 points.

  • 30 of those points come from multiple choice questions. That means that over 70% of your score is based just on the multiple choice section, which is mostly in Book 1 with a few multiple choice questions in Book 2 (the listening section). 
  • All of the writing you do in Book 1 and Book 2 adds up to the another 8 points. Here is how you get those points.
    • You get 2 points for each short answer question and graphic organizer you do in Book 1 and Book 2.  There are usually 4 short answer/graphic organizer questions total.
  •  You can earn up to 3 points on the editing paragraph in Book 2. This is separate from the Listening Section.
