2 page 2 of 7 Interpreting Your Score Report Components of the New SAT The SAT students face as of March 2016 has been heavily redesigned both in content and in the way scores are calculated and presented. The test has three primary components: Reading, Writing & Language, and Math, each with a varying number of questions and a specific time allotment. Every correct answer yields one raw point. There is no longer a guessing penalty, so questions answered incorrectly or left blank have the same neutral effect on your raw score. Raw scores for similar areas of content and skills are then converted to scaled scores, which are reported in myriad ways. The test includes an optional essay - recommended for all Compass students - that is read by two readers, who each assign scores from 1-4 in three different categories of assessment. Scoring Framework The maximum Total Score is 1600 and is the sum of two Section Scores: Reading & Writing, and Math. Previously, SAT scores were reported in three sections - Critical Reading, Writing (including a required essay), and Math - with a maximum of 2400 combined. The redesigned SAT consolidates the verbal elements into one Section Score, and then reports the two Section Scores on a scale of Also reported are Test Scores that allow you to see your performance in Reading versus Writing & Language before these areas are combined into the Section Score above. Subscores across seven different measures provide feedback on specific academic skills. are indicators of ability on content and skills that are tested across all areas of the exam. Practice Test Source and Scaling The practice test that you took was not a Compass concoction. It was released by the College Board and represents their best effort to foreshadow the official test that will debut in March However, the final scaling - the conversion of raw scores to scores - cannot be completed until data from the March and May test dates can be analyzed at once. These practice tests are the best available approximations of the actual test and final scaling, but they are draft versions. Comparing Scores from the new SAT, old SAT, and ACT Caution must be applied when comparing scores from the new SAT to the old SAT and to the ACT. The College Board has not promised that the new distribution of scores will perfectly match the old. While a 500 on the old test will not equate to a 400 or 600 on the new, variations of points at certain places on the scale are possible. Comparisons will become easier with the release of PSAT scores by January 2016 and the first SAT scores in May Further complicating matters for the next few years, comparing a new SAT score to an ACT score will only be possible through a derived concordance: New SAT to Old SAT to ACT. A degree of guesswork has always been involved when using practice test scores to gauge performance and decide between the SAT and ACT, and this will be especially true for the next few years until several actual tests are released and an official concordance study is done. In the you can identify your incorrect answers and how they clustered on the exam, because the section and number are highlighted in red. In the column: a + indicates a correct answer; a - indicates that you left the question blank; a letter A-D or a number indicates your incorrect answer (the correct answer is in the column to the left). Item Type and The Item Type and analyses presents your relative performance in the different question subjects and types. The column is your raw points divided by the total raw points possible on those questions. While it is natural to see a decline in as difficulty increases, steep drop-offs in the percentages (more than 50% in one level) are indications of problems with timing or testing strategy. If you have any questions about your scores, this report, the questions you answered incorrectly, or improvements you can make, please call us and ask to speak to a Director. * SAT is a registered trademark of the College Board, which was not involved in the production of, and does not endorse this product.
