Trang 1Vermont
Trang 2Mean score: The mean score is the arithmetic average of a
defined set of test scores Mean score statistics are reported
here if there are ten or more students in a group or subgroup.
Due to rounding, the mean section scores (ERW and Math)
may not add up to the Total score.
Scaled score: A scaled score is the result of adjusting a raw
score (the number of questions answered correctly) in ways
that ensure that results across different test forms are
comparable The scores shown here and reported to
educators, students, and institutions are scaled scores.
Standard deviation (SD): The standard deviation 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 standard
deviation is smaller than it would be with a more diverse group
and a more widely dispersed distribution of scores.
Each assessment in the SAT Suite has an associated set of metrics called the College and Career Readiness
Benchmarks.
· The SAT Math benchmark is the section score associated with 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 at least a C in first-semester, credit-bearing, college-level courses in history, literature, social science, or writing.
The grade-level benchmark scores for PSAT-related assessments are based on expected student growth toward the SAT benchmarks at each grade While SAT benchmarks indicate likelihood of success in college, grade-level
benchmarks indicate whether a student is on track for college and career readiness for their grade The benchmarks are set
to reflect typical annual growth from year to year from 8th through 12th grades.
The current SAT Suite benchmark outcomes should not be compared 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 more students in a group or subgroup.

Score Ranges
Here are the ranges for reported scores for the
Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (ERW) and Math
sections 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
Race/Ethnicity Data Collection and Reporting
In June 2015, the College Board aligned its collection and
reporting of race/ethnicity categories with U.S Department of
Education guidelines In addition, while previous SAT cohort
assignment reflected self-reported information collected during
SAT or SAT Subject Test registration only, it now leverages
the most recent information from the SAT, PSAT-related
assessment, or AP programs in an effort to more closely align
with school, district, and state data systems For these
reasons, we advise caution when comparing data points in this
report to those in previous reports.
Caveat on Using the Data
Relationships between test scores and other background or
contextual factors are complex and interdependent Caution is
warranted when using scores to compare or evaluate
teachers, schools, districts, or states, because of differences
in participation and test taker populations.

This report presents data on students in the class of 2021
who took the current SAT® during high school, as well as
takers of PSAT-related assessments—the PSAT/NMSQT®,
PSAT™ 10, and PSAT™ 8/9—during the 2020-21 school
year.
Within each assessment, test takers are counted only once
and only their latest scores and most recent demographic
responses are summarized Most students supply optional
demographic information when they register for or take tests
in the SAT Suite of Assessments, which provides valuable
contextual information to aid in interpreting and
understanding individual and group scores.

SAT Suite Participation Summary
The SAT Suite of Assessments — the SAT (grades 12 and 11), PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10 (grades 11 and 10), and PSAT 8/9 (grades 9 and 8) — measures a student’s college and career readiness Together, these assessments provide a
comprehensive solution that systematically and progressively measures the knowledge, skills, and understandings essential for success in college and career.
