Statistical Definitions

The SAT Program The SAT ® I: Reasoning Test and the SAT II: Subject Tests, the primary components of the SAT Program, are designed to assess many of the skills that are important to students' success in college. Because the subject matter of high school courses as well as grading standards vary widely, the tests have been developed to provide a common standard against which students can be compared. Most students also complete the optional Student Descriptive Questionnaire (SDQ) when they register to take SAT Program tests, providing valuable contextual information to aid in interpreting and understanding individual and group scores.

1

Mean The mean is the arithmetic average. Percentile The percentile, also called the percentile point, is the point on the measurement scale below which a specified percentage of scores falls. The 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile points are often reported for large data sets. The 50th percentile point, like the mean, gives an idea of the performance of the typical student. Comparing the 25th to the 75th percentile point gives an idea of the range of ability in the population.

Using This Report

Scaled score A scaled score is a score that has been converted from the raw score scale for reporting. The SAT Program uses the 200-800 scale.

This Profile of College-Bound Seniors presents data for high school graduates in the year 2002 who participated in the SAT Program during their high school years. Students are counted once no matter how often they tested, and only their latest scores and most recent SDQ responses are summarized. Because the accuracy of self-reported information has been documented and the college-bound seniors population is relatively stable from year to year, SDQ responses from these students can be considered highly accurate. Therefore, you can use this report to:

Standard deviation (SD) The standard deviation (SD) is a measure of the variability of a set of scores. If test scores cluster tightly around the mean score, as they do when the group tested is relatively homogeneous, the SD is smaller than it would be with a more diverse group and a greater scatter of scores around the mean.

interpret scores of individual students within the broader context of data aggregated across groups of college-bound seniors; study changes over time in the characteristics taking SAT tests; and

of students

look at year-to-year educational and demographic changes in this population, along with changes in test performance. Keep in mind, however, that: relationships between test scores and other factors such as educational background, gender, racial/ethnic background, parental education, and household income are complex and interdependent. These factors do not directly affect test performance; rather, they are associated with educational experiences both on tests such as the SAT I and in schoolwork. not all students in a high school, school district, or state take the SAT I. Since the population of test-takers is self-selected, using aggregate SAT I scores to compare or evaluate teachers, schools, districts, states, or other educational units is not valid, and the College Board strongly discourages such uses. interpreting SAT I scores for subgroups requires unique considerations. The most significant factor to consider in interpreting SAT I scores for any group, or subgroup, of testtakers is the proportion of students taking the test. For example, if state data are being considered, it is appropriate to recognize that in some states there are lower participation rates. Typically, test-takers in these states have strong academic backgrounds and apply to the nation's most selective colleges and scholarship programs. For these states, it is expected that the SAT I mean scores reported for students will be higher than the national average.

* For 1972-1986 a formula was applied to the original mean and standard deviation to convert the mean to the recentered scale. For 1987-1995 individual student scores were converted to the recentered scale and then the mean was recomputed. From 1996-1999, nearly all students received scores on the recentered scale. Any score on the original scale was converted to the recentered scale prior to computing the mean. From 2000-2002, all scores are reported on the recentered scale

Points to Note: Whereas most SAT II tests are achievement tests in a given curriculum area or academic subject, the ELPT is a proficiency test in the area of English as a Second Language. As such, the ELPT should not be linked to the SAT II 200-800 score scale used for subject achievement tests. ELPT is on a separate scale ranging from 901-999. The ELPT Reading and Listening subscores range from 1 to 50. Proficiency Ranges: H - Advanced High or Higher A - Advanced + - Intermediate High I - Intermediate L - Below Intermediate For more information on the ranges, please visit the College Board Web site at www.collegeboard.com.
