The conditions under which cross sections can be scaled from calculations on a one-electron system are investigated. The conditions are found to be met in the case of K-shell excitation in low-velocity symmetric ion-atom collisions. Cross sections for K-shell excitation in first row atoms are calculated in this way and are found to be in good agreement with existing measurements.
