How 'augmented' scoring works
Say a student receives 625 points on the math portion of AIMS, short of the 683 points needed to pass and graduate.
Now, say that student received six A's, 12 B's, five C's and one D in core classes. That adds up to 177 points under the new system.
Those 24 classes equal 11.5 credits.
The state finds the average points per credit by dividing the 177 points by the credits, to get 15.39.
That number is divided by 100 and multiplied by 625, the student's original AIMS math score, which equals 96.
The 96 is called the student's "augmented" score. It's added to the original AIMS score, bringing the student's score up to 721, a passing grade.
