FAQs
What raw total usually equals a scaled 65?
Recent exams show that about 30-32 combined raw points plus an essay score of 3 will land a scaled 65. Curves fluctuate, so run your actual raw numbers through the calculator.
Does the essay really weigh 20 %?
Yes. The Civic & Global Essay’s 5-point rubric is multiplied to 12 grid points, amounting to roughly one-fifth of the total scaled score.
Is January’s curve easier than June’s?
Historically, January curves are slightly more forgiving due to a smaller, often lower-scoring cohort. But the margin is slim — aim for raw mastery regardless of session.
Will the calculator update for 2026?
Absolutely. Conversion data refreshes within 24 hours of every new NYSED scoring release.
