Post by: Eriny on May 08, 2009, 11:10:59 am: It depends. Usually scores scale higher from the mean. That is to say, a 30 might go up to 35. However, if your score is much higher or lower is scales less. A 50 may not scale up at all, a 40 will still probably scale up, but probably not to a 45, etc.

Unless you know people who have done Polish, the most accurate indicator of scaling you can get is VTACs past scaling reports. Use the 2008 one (it's available on their website). It isn't the same every year but you shouldn't expect too much of a variation over time.

my 33-->just under 38 (the scaling is always some weird non-integer, unlike the raw score)

Basically, if you get:

30 $\to$ 34
35 $\to$ 38
40 $\to$ 43
45 $\to$ 46
50 $\to$ 50 (Doesn't change).
