Statistical DefinitionsThe SAT Program

Using This Report

Mean

Percentile

Scaled score

Standard deviation (SD)

The mean is the arithmetic average.

The percentile, also called the percentile point, is the pointon the measurement scale below which a specifiedpercentage of scores falls. The 25th, 50th, and 75thpercentile points are often reported for large data sets. The50th percentile point, like the mean, gives an idea of theperformance of the typical student. Comparing the 25th tothe 75th percentile point gives an idea of the range of abilityin the population.

A scaled score is a score that has been converted from theraw score scale for reporting. The SAT Program uses the200-800 scale.

The standard deviation (SD) is a measure of the variabilityof a set of scores. If test scores cluster tightly around themean score, as they do when the group tested is relativelyhomogeneous, the SD is smaller than it would be with amore diverse group and a greater scatter of scores aroundthe mean.

The SAT I: Reasoning Test and the SAT II: Subject Tests, theprimary components of the SAT Program, are designed toassess many of the skills that are important to students' successin college. Because the subject matter of high school courses aswell as grading standards vary widely, the tests have beendeveloped to provide a common standard against which studentscan be compared. Most students also complete the optionalStudent Descriptive Questionnaire (SDQ) when they register totake SAT Program tests, providing valuable contextualinformation to aid in interpreting and understanding individualand group scores.

This presents data for highschool graduates in the year 2002 who participated in the SATProgram during their high school years. Students are countedonce no matter how often they tested, and only their latestscores and most recent SDQ responses are summarized.Because the accuracy of self-reported information has beendocumented and the college-bound seniors population isrelatively stable from year to year, SDQ responses from thesestudents can be considered highly accurate. Therefore, you canuse this report to:

interpret scores of individual students within the broadercontext of data aggregated across groups of college-boundseniors;

study changes over time in the characteristics of studentstaking SAT tests; and

look at year-to-year educational and demographic changes inthis population, along with changes in test performance. For more statistical definitions, visit the College Board Web site

at http://www.collegeboard.com/sat/cbsenior/html/define.html.Keep in mind, however, that:

relationships between test scores and other factors such aseducational background, gender, racial/ethnic background,parental education, and household income are complex andinterdependent. These factors do not directly affect testperformance; rather, they are associated with educationalexperiences both on tests such as the SAT I and inschoolwork.

not all students in a high school, school district, or state takethe SAT I. Since the population of test-takers is self-selected,using aggregate SAT I scores to compare or evaluate teachers,schools, districts, states, or other educational units is not valid,and the College Board strongly discourages such uses.

interpreting SAT I scores for subgroups requires uniqueconsiderations. The most significant factor to consider ininterpreting SAT I scores for any group, or subgroup, of test-takers is the proportion of students taking the test. Forexample, if state data are being considered, it is appropriate torecognize that in some states there are lower participationrates. Typically, test-takers in these states have strongacademic backgrounds and apply to the nation's mostselective colleges and scholarship programs. For these states,it is expected that the SAT I mean scores reported for studentswill be higher than the national average.

* For 1972-1986 a formula was applied to the original mean and standard deviation to convert the mean to the recentered scale. For 1987-1995 individualstudent scores were converted to the recentered scale and then the mean was recomputed. From 1996-1999, nearly all students received scores on therecentered scale. Any score on the original scale was converted to the recentered scale prior to computing the mean. From 2000-2002, all scores arereported on the recentered scale

This report summarizes information

for seniors who took the SAT I:

Reasoning Test and/or SAT II: Subject

Tests any time during their high school

years through

took a test more than once, the most

recent score is used. Students are

counted once no matter how often

they tested.

Mean scores are reported when there

are 5 or more test takers.

Standard deviations are reported when

there are 25 or more test takers.

Percentiles (75th, 50th, and 25th) are

reported when there are 20 or more

test takers.

"No response" indicates that students

skipped that question when they

completed their Student Descriptive

Questionnaire (SDQ).

The most recent responses to the SDQ

are summarized.
