Interpreting SAT and SAT Subject Test scores
SAT Program data provide important information about test characteristics, prediction, validity and reliability. Additionally, college-bound senior data provides insightful information about the test takers, i.e., subgroup performance, college plans and goals and high school background.
Below is a list of data tables for use in interpreting SAT and Subject Test scores. These tables supplement the College-Bound Seniors data.
These tables are available for download in PDF format.
A list of Statistical Definitions can help you to understand the statistical terms mentioned in the tables.
Requires Adobe Reader (latest version recommended).
