There is a roll to see if you successfully read the scroll that is higher level then your maximum spell, if you succeed you cast it successfully, if you fail, you roll a save of some sort to see if there is a mishap, if no mishap the spell fails, if there is a mishap I think there is a mishap table. I am at work so I can not specify page number or specifics.

In order to cast a higher level scroll, you have to make a caster level check of the scroll's caster level + 1. Do you get to add anything onto your roll, or is the roll you make a straight d20 roll?
