Statistical Definitions

Mean score: The mean score is the arithmetic average of adefined set of test scores. Mean score statistics are reportedhere if there are ten or more students in a group or subgroup.

Scaled score: A scaled score is the result of adjusting a rawscore (the number of questions answered correctly) in waysthat ensure that results across different test forms arecomparable. The scores shown here and reported toeducators, students, and institutions are scaled scores.

Standard deviation (SD): The standard deviation is ameasure of the variability of a set of scores. If test scorescluster tightly around the mean score, as they do when thegroup tested is relatively homogeneous, the standarddeviation is smaller than it would be with a more diverse groupand a more widely dispersed distribution of scores.

College and Career Readiness Benchmarks

Each assessment in the SAT Suite has an associated set ofmetrics called the College and Career ReadinessBenchmarks.

· The SAT Math benchmark is the section score associatedwith a 75% chance of earning at least a C in first-semester,credit-bearing, college-level courses in algebra, statistics,precalculus, or calculus.· The SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (ERW)benchmark is associated with a 75% chance of earning atleast a C in first-semester, credit-bearing, college-levelcourses in history, literature, social science, or writing.

The grade-level benchmark scores for PSAT-relatedassessments are based on expected student growth towardthe SAT benchmarks at each grade. While SAT benchmarksindicate likelihood of success in college, grade-levelbenchmarks indicate whether a student is on track for collegeand career readiness for their grade. The benchmarks are setto reflect typical annual growth from year to year from 8ththrough 12th grades.

The new SAT Suite benchmark outcomes should not becompared against results from the old SAT or PSAT/NMSQT,as the score scale and benchmark definitions have changed.

Benchmark statistics are reported if there are ten or morestudents in a group or subgroup.

About This Report

This report presents data on students in the class of 2018 whotook the new SAT® during high school, as well as takers ofPSAT-related assessments—the PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™10, and PSAT™ 8/9—during the 2017-18 school year.

Within each assessment, test takers are counted only onceand only their latest scores and most recent demographicresponses are summarized. (Most students supply optionaldemographic information when they register for or take tests inthe SAT Suite of Assessments, which provides valuablecontextual information to aid in interpreting and understandingindividual and group scores.)

Score Ranges

Here are the ranges for reported scores for theEvidence-Based Reading and Writing (ERW) and Mathsections of each assessment in the SAT Suite:

· SAT sections: 200–800· PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10 sections: 160–760· PSAT 8/9 sections: 120–720

Recent Changes to Data Collection and Reporting

In June 2015, the College Board aligned its collection andreporting of race/ethnicity categories with U.S. Department ofEducation guidelines. In addition, while previous SAT cohortassignment reflected self-reported information collected duringSAT or SAT Subject Test registration only, it now leveragesthe most recent information from the SAT, PSAT-relatedassessment, or AP programs in an effort to more closely alignwith school, district, and state data systems. For thesereasons, we advise caution when comparing data points in thisreport to those in previous reports.

Caveat on Using the Data

Relationships between test scores and other background orcontextual factors are complex and interdependent. Caution iswarranted when using scores to compare or evaluateteachers, schools, districts, or states, because of differencesin participation and test taker populations.
