2022 vermont SAT suite of assessments annual report

2022 Vermont SAT Suite of Assessments Annual Report Vermont 100064 Statistical Definitions Mean score The mean score is the arithmetic average of a defined set of test scores Mean score statistics are[.]

Mean 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.

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 8/9 sections: 120–720

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 2022 who took the SAT® during high school, as well as takers of

PSAT-related assessments—the PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, and PSAT™ 8/9—during the 2021-22 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.

This report is compiled by the College Board as a summary of the SAT program results, inclusive of all test takers In some states, the SAT is offered as an accountability assessment to all students in 11th grade.* Because this report is focused on the total SAT test taking activity of the graduating Class of 2022, it is not comparable with or a substitute for data that is provided by state agencies regarding their state testing programs.

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.

*Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and West Virginia

Median Family Income Estimates

To generate high-level estimates of participation in the SAT

Suite of Assessments by income band, we estimate family

income by linking students to the median family income in the

census tract in which they live, according to American

Community Survey data Median family income estimates are

available for the total group and for U.S states only.

SAT School Day

In the United States, students may take the SAT on a

weekday in their school when it is provided by their state,

district, or school through the SAT School Day program SAT

School Day is administered on test dates in the fall and spring.

Students testing in the most recent school year as part of a

state testing program are only included in the cohort-level data

presented here if they are a member of the graduating class of

2022.

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.

The College Board is a mission-driven not-for-profit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity Founded in 1900, the College Board was created
