-100064 Vermont About This Report College and Career Readiness Benchmarks 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 Each assessment in the SAT Suite has an associated set of metrics called the College and Career Readiness Benchmarks 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 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 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 · The SAT Math benchmark is the section score associated 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 ERW Section Score Math Section Score SAT 480 530 Grade 11 460 510 Grade 10 430 480 Grade 9 410 450 Grade 8 390 430 Race/Ethnicity Data Collection and Reporting Assessment/ Grade level 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 Statistical Definitions 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 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 About the
