Dear Educator,
Throughout the 2015-16 school year, your students will have
the opportunity to participate in one or more assessments
in the SAT Suite of Assessments, including the redesigned
SAT and PSAT/NMSQT, as well as the new PSAT 10 and
PSAT 8/9. The assessments in the SAT Suite are more
purposeful and focused than ever before, designed not
to be one-time testing events but rather an assessment
system that informs students and educators about academic
progress over time.
When students engage in challenging course work each
day, they give themselves the best chance to succeed.
To support students on the road to college and career
readiness, the College Board has designed the SAT Suite
of Assessments to assess the knowledge and skills taught
and learned in classrooms like yours. In order to measure
student progress toward college and career readiness, we
know you need meaningful assessment data and reports
that will inform you about your students progress, their
strengths, and the areas in which they can continue to work
to get ready for college and career.
This guide will provide you with information about the tools
and reports that will help you understand and interpret
student scores. It also suggests ways to connect reported
information with classroom instruction, to monitor student
progress, and to use data to review, evaluate, and adjust
curriculum. These recommendations are intended to
support teachers across all content areas and enhance
instruction that will build skills necessary for college and
career success for each student.
In addition to this guide, look for several free and valuable
assessment resources, including:

The Redesigned SAT Teacher Implementation Guide,


designed to help you understand the content and structure
of the redesigned SAT.

Practice opportunities for students through the College


Boards partnership with Khan Academy free,
personalized online practice, including the release of four
redesigned SAT practice tests.

students are ready.

Resources for school and district leaders, including links to


tools to help students, parents, and educators understand
the changes to the assessments.

A Counselor Implementation Guide that supports the work


of counselors as they help students navigate college and
career decisions related to the redesigned SAT.
We know how pivotal you are to the success of your
students and how our goal of propelling students into the
success theyve earned is only possible with your help.
Our College Board team looks forward to strengthening
our partnership with you in order to go beyond delivering
assessments to delivering opportunity.

SECTION 1:

A Comprehensive Assessment
System
Overview
Use this guide to become acquainted with the scores and
reporting in the SAT Suite of Assessments and to understand
the information provided in the scores and reporting that you
can use to monitor student progress, review your curriculum
and instruction, and monitor assessment trends for school
improvement planning.

The SAT Suite of Assessments

The College Board is launching the SAT Suite of Assessments,


a system of new and redesigned assessments, in fall 2015 and
spring 2016. The SAT Suite focuses on the few, durable topics that
evidence shows matter most for college and career success. The
assessments in the SAT Suite include:
The redesigned SAT Offered throughout the school year, the
SAT provides a powerful connection to college. Most students
take the SAT for the first time during the spring of their junior
year and a second time during the fall of their senior year. Some
students access the SAT through the SAT School Day program.
The redesigned PSAT/NMSQT and the new PSAT 10 Both
assessments cover the same content at the same level of difficulty
and serve as a check-in on student progress, pinpointing areas for
development. Students will take the PSAT/NMSQT in the fall of
10th and 11th grades. Instead of delivering the PSAT/NMSQT to
10th-grade students in the fall, some schools may instead deliver
the PSAT 10 in the spring.
The PSAT 8/9 This test is the entry point to the SAT Suite
of Assessments, establishing a baseline for college and career
readiness as students enter high school. The PSAT 8/9 is designed
for eighth- and ninth-grade students. Because it is offered in the
fall and spring, schools and districts can choose a test date in
either the fall or spring window.

All of the assessments included in the SAT Suite of Assessments are


connected by the same underlying content continuum of knowledge
and skills. As students progress from grade to grade, the tests will
keep pace, matching the scope and difficulty of work found in the
classroom. The assessments have been designed to connect directly to
instructional concepts in the classroom and daily practice, and this
guide and related resources provide support as you engage in
instructional alignment and planning. The SAT Suite can help:

Measure student readiness for college and career beginning in


eighth grade.

Monitor student progress and growth over time in grades 812.

Vertically align curriculum.

Identify areas of strength and areas for focus in curriculum


and instruction.

Develop cross-subject tasks and assignments.


Focus interventions for students who need to work on skills.

Scores Across the SAT Suite of Assessments


Consistent Information Reported Across Assessments
The SAT Suite of Assessments will provide detailed information about
student learning by reporting insightful scores in detailed reports. Each
of the redesigned assessments will report a total score, section scores,
test scores, cross-test scores, and subscores on common score scales.
In addition, the SAT reports a separate SAT Essay score for those who
choose to participate in the SAT Essay.

All assessments in the SAT


Suite focus on the same
domain of knowledge, skills,
and understandings at a level
of complexity appropriate for
each grade, allowing students
and educators to pinpoint areas
of focus, design strategies for
practice, and measure progress
as they work toward college and
career readiness.

u s i n g s c o r e s a n d r e p o rt i n g to i n f o r m i n st r u c t i o n

Test Scores. The assessments in the SAT Suite will report three test
scores: Reading, Writing and Language, and Math. Each has a score
range of 1040.
Cross-Test Scores. The assessments will each report two cross-test
scores: Analysis in History/Social Studies and Analysis in Science.
These scores are generated from questions in the Reading, Writing and
Language, and Math Tests that ask students to think analytically about
texts, graphics, and problems in these subject areas. Each of these
scores is reported on a scale from 10 to 40.

A Comprehensive Assessment System

Total Score and Section Scores. The assessments in the SAT Suite will
each report a total score on a scale from 400 to 1600 that is the sum of
two section scores: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (200800) and
Math (200800).

Scores on the optional essay


component of the SAT will be
reported separately and will be
divided into three dimensions:
Reading, Analysis, and Writing.
Each dimension will be scored
on a 28 point scale.
*There is no essay on
PSAT/NMSQT,
PSAT 10, or PSAT 8/9.

Subscores. The assessments will report multiple subscores for


Reading, Writing and Language, and Math, each with a score range of
1 to 15 points. Subscores provide detail about student performance.
The Reading Test and Writing and Language Test will report
two subscores:
Words in Context
Command of Evidence
In addition to the two subscores above, the Writing and Language
Test will report two additional subscores:
Expression of Ideas
Standard English Conventions
The Math Test will report three subscores:1
Heart of Algebra
Problem Solving and Data Analysis
Passport to Advanced Math
Beyond the scores, teachers and students will have access to cohesive
information about test performance. A combination of numerical and
content-based interpretations will provide a better picture of what
students know and can do and will help identify areas where they may
need to focus.
For example, a students numerical test scores will be interpreted in a
content-based explanation that describes the knowledge, skills, and
understandings students have learned and those they need to continue
to practice. Providing both numerical and content-based interpretations
of student performance not only better defines what students know
and can do, it also helps students and teachers identify the knowledge,
skills, and understandings students can focus on next to increase their
college and career readiness.

1. Students will be assessed on Additional Topics in Math on the SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, and PSAT 10, but no
subscore will be reported. On PSAT 8/9, Additional Topics in Math will not be assessed, and there will be no
subscore for Passport to Advanced Math.

u s i n g s c o r e s a n d r e p o rt i n g to i n f o r m i n st r u c t i o n

Vertical Score Scale


The scores on the redesigned assessments are intended to give an
enhanced profile of students skills and understandings, while the
common score scale will help educators and students monitor growth
across grades and identify areas in need of improvement.
The scores are vertically scaled, which makes it easy to determine
student growth from one test to another: It's the simple difference
between scores. This allows the assessments to function as a system
in which student performance over time can consistently be measured
against a common metric, demonstrating growth over time for a
student (or in the aggregate). This new level of feedback will help both
students and educators engage in the best possible practice for future
assessments: strong classroom work and instruction.
By design, the assessments are created to cover a slightly different
range of content complexity that increases from PSAT 8/9 to
PSAT 10 and PSAT/NMSQT and then to SAT. This increase in content
complexity also corresponds to an increase in the difficulty level of
each test. The PSAT/NMSQT is more difficult or challenging than the
PSAT 8/9, and the SAT is more difficult than the PSAT/NMSQT.
The minimum and maximum scores vary from assessment to assessment
to show the difference in complexity of knowledge on the different tests.
Theoretically, if a student were to take the PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10, and SAT
on the same day, he or she would score the same on each assessment,
but if the student scored perfectly on all three, he or she would only
score a 720 on PSAT 8/9, compared with an 800 for Math on the SAT. This
is because the difficulty of questions is greater on the SAT.

A Comprehensive Assessment System

Working together, the tests in the SAT Suite of Assessments provide


college and career readiness benchmarks and consistent feedback for
measuring student progress. Benchmarks indicating college and career
readiness are determined using SAT Suite data and first-year college
performance data. The benchmark score indicates that students who
earn that score or higher have a 75 percent likelihood of earning a C or
better in a first-year, credit-bearing course in the same subject area.
The PSAT 8/9 will provide benchmarks and norms for both eighth and
ninth grades. The PSAT 10 will provide benchmarks and norms for
10th grade. The PSAT/NMSQT will provide benchmarks and norms
for 10th- and 11th-graders. Use benchmark information to identify
and accelerate students who are ahead or behind, and use SAT Suite
of Assessment scores and reports to provide the information and
guidance to do so.

SECTION 2:

Using SAT Suite of


Assessments Scores and
Reporting to Inform Instruction
Assessment and Instruction:
An Interactive Process
The SAT Suite of Assessments is designed to align with best
practices in classroom instruction that develop knowledge, skills,
and understandings necessary for college and career readiness. The
SAT Suite is also designed to be an integral part of the instructional
process, providing informative, actionable feedback about student
progress toward meeting college and career standards. The scores and
reporting that the SAT Suite provides, along with resources like this
guide, the redesigned SAT professional development modules, and
Khan Academy practice, are intended to support an assessment and
learning process far more than one-day, isolated test events.
When students receive feedback about their performance on any one of
the assessments in the SAT Suite, they can take responsibility for their
own learning and work on the concepts and skills identified as needing
improvement. Students can set learning goals, as well as reflect on and
monitor their own progress toward meeting college- and career-ready
standards.
When you receive feedback about your students progress, you have
the opportunity to support students as they work to own their learning
and develop knowledge and skills they will use throughout their lives.
The scores and reports generated from the SAT Suite of Assessments
will provide you with the ability to drill down to the knowledge, skills,
and understandings each student demonstrates as a strength or as an
area for improvement and will help you target intervention strategies
for students who need support.
You can use the feedback about student progress to take a step back
and review patterns of scores for groups of students, determining
whether there are curriculum and instructional needs that should be
addressed. You will also be able to review performance as a school or
district, receiving valuable feedback about student performance as a
whole and within various demographic groups.

Educator Access to Student Results


Building stronger partnerships with classroom teachers to help students
grow and develop is an important objective of the College Board. To
that end, the assessment process will yield in-depth score reports that
connect student results to classroom work. Like the former Summary
of Answers and Skills (SOAS) Report provided for the PSAT/NMSQT,
the reports for the SAT Suite of Assessments will provide

12

The reports students receive will


provide detailed explanations
of students current college
readiness skills, based on test
score band and typical students.
The reports include actionable
steps students can take to
improve on skills required to be
college and career ready. They
will also provide students with
their AP Potential information.

Although the redesigned


assessment scores and reports
are new, you can continue to
access the information you are
accustomed to using, such as:

Question-Level Analysis
(like SOAS)
AP Potential results
College Readiness Benchmarks

u s i n g s c o r e s a n d r e p o rt i n g to i n f o r m i n st r u c t i o n

Online Reporting Portal


The new educator reporting portal will support effective decision
making with a variety of standard reports that can be configured for
your needs. You or the point person in your school2 will be able to log in
to the portal to view score reports for the whole school. The portal will
generate score reports based on student demographics, including
means and trends among demographic groups, and this information
can be compared with the performance of students in the district and
at the state level. Content analysis reports (Instructional Planning and
Question Analysis reports) will allow you to drill down to the student
level and analyze the questions students encountered on the actual
assessment, as well as content and skill gaps.
In the online reporting portal, designated users will be able to
analyze score data from every test in the SAT Suite. As each new and
redesigned test rolls out, the reporting portal will grow to include its
reports: A single sign-in will grant access to all score data from the
SAT, SAT Subject Tests, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, and PSAT 8/9.
In addition to the standard online score reports, portal users will be
able to configure reports with filters, and they will be able to export
information to Excel or a PDF for additional uses. As a portal user,
you can filter by student-provided information, such as race/ethnicity
or highest level of parental education, or you can define your own
comparison groups of your students and organize student performance
records according to your analysis needs. With this capability, you can
configure a report that includes, for example, only the students in your
U.S. History class. This allows you to hone in on your own students
performance and identify skills that are strong and skills that may need
to be an additional focus of instruction in your classroom.
The online reporting system will track students progress for all
assessments they take, allowing you to identify how students are
demonstrating the development of their college and career readiness
skills over time. If a student demonstrated he or she was on track to
meet the college and career readiness benchmark on the
PSAT 8/9 but now has fallen off track to meeting the college and career
readiness benchmark on the PSAT/NMSQT, you may want to work
with the student to determine his or her current needs for building the
knowledge and skills required for college and career success and for
SAT readiness. In addition, if a larger group of students demonstrates
that same lack of year-over-year growth, you can work with teacher
colleagues and administrators to analyze current curriculum and
instructional strategies and look for ways to ensure that students are
engaged in learning activities that build the needed skills.
To support the alignment of curriculum and assessments, the online
portal will include links to your state standards. This resource will
provide teachers and curriculum specialists with additional tools for
analyzing strengths and weaknesses in curriculum and instruction.

Available filters in the online


reporting portal:

You will see additional


enhancements to these online
score reports in the future. The
College Board is conducting
research studies to provide
students and teachers with
reliable recommendations
to improve performance
and increase college and
career readiness. These
recommendations will increase
over time as more and more
students take the redesigned
SAT and demonstrate success.

lead to research-based conclusions,
they may initiate deeper investigation
and lead to helpful suggestions or
pitfalls to avoid.
After selecting to review cross-test
scores and subscores, drill through to
the Question Analysis Report to identify
questions linked to the cross-test scores
and subscores.
Look for connections among questions
and scores to identify areas of focus for
intervention and curriculum review.

areas can review lessons and activities to
ensure that students have the opportunity
to practice analysis skills in these courses.
Use difficulty indicators to determine
the level of question with which
students are struggling.
If students are struggling with all
types of questions, this may indicate
that students are not exposed to this
content in class, and a curriculum
review may be helpful.
If students are struggling with
hard questions, collaborate with
other teachers to determine how
to increase the level of difficulty
students practice in classroom
activities and other assessments.

and skills that students need to master based on test scores,
cross-test scores, and subscores. Develop differentiated classroom
activities and assignments that allow students to practice
the skills identified. Set up after-school study sessions for
individualized support.

Khan Academy for SAT Practice


When student scores indicate a need for additional practice, you
have substantial resources at your fingertips to help students get the
support they need. The most important practice for the redesigned
SAT will occur in the course of classroom activities. Because of
the alignment among the assessments, the standards, and your
curriculum, you will naturally be designing activities that allow
students to practice in classroom assignments.
To complement classroom activities, the College Board has partnered
with Khan Academy to provide a world-class test-preparation program
that is completely free for all students. On khanacademy.org/sat,
students have access to free resources that support the focused review
of relevant knowledge and skills as well as authentic practice with
College Boardwritten redesigned SAT questions and tests.
Starting with the release of PSAT/NMSQT results at the end of
December, students have the option to link their College Board
and Khan Academy accounts. This allows Khan Academy to create
personalized practice recommendations individually targeted to
address a students greatest opportunities. Free and accessible
anytime, anywhere, Official SAT Practice on khanacademy.org will
give students personalized practice recommendations tailored to
their strengths and weaknesses, based on their actual results and
their progress on diagnostic quizzes in the program. In addition,
your students will find four full-length SAT practice tests from the
College Board as well as thousands of practice questions written
in collaboration with the same developers who are creating the
redesigned SAT.

Consider a scenario in which


you review the Score Roster
Report. You notice that one
of your students, Maria, has
earned a score on her Reading
Test that is lower than expected.
Using the online reporting
portal, you are able to review
the Student Score Report and
dig deeper into Marias test
scores, finding that she earned
good scores in one subscore,
Command of Evidence, but
struggled in Words in Context.
You see that she did not
struggle with vocabulary on
pre-redesigned assessments.
This provides a great entry
point to a conversation with
Maria about her understanding
of Words in Context and a topic
to suggest for practice and
review. You can also connect
Maria with other students who
need to practice the same skill
so they can form a study group
and practice together.

On khanacademy.org/sat, all
students have the opportunity
to practice for the redesigned
SAT using Khan Academys
free online tools, including
diagnostic quizzes, full-length
practice tests, interactive
problems, and personalized
practice recommendations.
Students will receive instant
feedback on their answers so
that they can monitor their
progress and make the most of
their study time.

Monitoring and Adjusting

Curriculum and Instruction

Each SAT Suite of Assessments report provides information that can


support the development of individual students but also provides
information that will help you align and improve your curriculum and
instruction. In this guide, references to curriculum mean the ways
that educators:

Ensure student learning is aligned to state standards


Deliver content to students over time, through instruction,

Curriculum, as used in this


guide, refers to the knowledge
and skills students are expected
to learn as defined by state
standards; the units and lessons
that teachers teach, including
the assignments given to
students; the materials used in
a course; and the assessments
used to evaluate student
learning.

materials, and assignments

Assess students progress


Assessment is a key component of the curriculum, and results that
reveal student strengths and deficiencies are highly valuable to
educators. When reviewing the performance of groups of students,
educators have the opportunity to use the data to reflect on curriculum
and instruction and determine whether the work done in the
classroom is aligned to college and career readiness. When groups of
students perform well on assessments of specific knowledge, skills,
and understandings, educators can infer that the curriculum and
instruction in these areas are strong. When groups of students struggle
on assessments, it is an indicator that a curriculum review may be in
order.
When you review reports, use a process to evaluate and strengthen
your curriculum:
1. Use the reports to determine areas in which students are meeting

and exceeding college and career benchmarks. Compare areas of


strength to curriculum pacing maps, instructional strategies, and
common assessments.
2. Determine what is helping students to be successful in these

areas. Consider whether time-on-task, spiraled experiences


with content, or familiarity with assessment questions (or any
combination) might contribute to strong student performance.
3. Compare these processes with those in content areas in which

students are less successful as indicated by the reports.

While any one data point at


a given time may not inform
you about curricular strengths
and weaknesses, receiving
consistent information from
multiple measures of student
performance or in trend reports
can provide insight about
strengths and weaknesses in
curriculum and instruction.
For example, if students are
not meeting or exceeding the
benchmark in any particular
section score, the combined
reports in the SAT Suite of
Assessments will provide
rich information to help you
determine areas of focus
to strengthen teaching and
learning.

Using SAT Suite of Assessments Scores and Reporting to Inform Instruction

There are many ways to utilize Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy.

t h e s at s u i t e o f a s s e s s m e n t s :

u s i n g s c o r e s a n d r e p o rt i n g to i n f o r m i n st r u c t i o n

Are they encountering material only once?


Do local common assessments reflect the question structure
and format that will provide practice for the summative
assessment?
4. Work with your colleagues, department, professional learning
community, or vertical team to design common activities,
assignments, and assessments that build skills from year to year
to help students prepare for the assessments over time.

All of the data provided by the SAT Suite of Assessments generates


multiple opportunities to reflect on and assess curriculum and
instruction in each classroom.

Monitoring Assessment Trends

for School Improvement

The SAT Suite of Assessments provides a comprehensive set of reports


that teachers, school administrators, and district administrators
can use to develop systems for monitoring longitudinal progress of
students and student groups and for school improvement planning.
The vertical scaling of the assessments allows educators to track
student progress over time, providing valuable insight about school
improvement needs. The online reporting portal provides trend reports
that indicate the progress of aggregate groups over a five-year time
span. These reports can be disaggregated by school, classroom, and
student demographics. The reports will provide trends in scores and
trends in benchmark achievement.

Examples of School
Improvement SMART Goals:
1.

In the 2014-15 school year,


80 percent of students
participated in SAT. By
2017-18, the participation
rate will increase to
90 percent on SAT, and
participation by subgroups
of students will reflect our
school population.

2.

In the 2015-16 school year,


42 percent of students
met or exceeded the
college and career
readiness benchmark on
the PSAT/NMSQT. By
2018-19, 50 percent
of students will
meet or exceed the
college and career
readiness benchmark.

3.

By the end of the


2018-19 school year,
average student growth
from PSAT 8/9 to PSAT 10
on the Reading Test score
will be at least 10 points.

Data from the SAT Suite of Assessments can be used to set and

monitor school improvement goals. Several data points can be

referenced and tracked to assess progress in school improvement.

Use the Benchmark by Demographics report to monitor


section scores, identifying areas in which students in various
demographic groups meet and do not meet benchmarks.

Use the Instructional Planning reports to monitor cross-test scores


and test scores and develop interim objectives for growth in
content areas, setting specific action plans for improvement on
specific cross-test or test scores.

Use the Scores by Demographics report to monitor student


participation on the SAT Suite of Assessments and to ensure
that all students have access to the assessments. The data
provided by the SAT Suite of Assessments are the most valuable
when they represent the scores of all students in your school.
If the assessment data are not inclusive of all students, they
will not provide a complete picture of your school performance
or improvement.

Using SAT Suite of Assessments Scores and Reporting to Inform Instruction

Scores and reports generated from the SAT Suite of Assessments


provide students, teachers, and school and district leaders with
detailed information that can support student academic growth, as
well as improvements in instruction and curriculum. They can be used
to design targeted interventions for students, to inspire instructional
strategies, and to measure the results of school improvement activities.
The College Board will continue to monitor assessment data and
work with educators to develop recommendations for using scores to
improve instruction and support student academic progress.
