SAT Scores

Post by elizabethdarcy »

Quick SAT's question - how do you find out what percentage of kids got 120? And 119, 118 and so on? I think it's 65% who achieved above 100 and 9% above 110?

Thanks!

I’ve seen 65% quoted this year and 9% quoted in a previous year. However you appear to be talking about individual tests and these statistics refer to combined tests. Only 9% of children would score above expected level in all three tests. On an individual test I would anticipate the figure scoring above expected level to be closer to 30%.

I have not seen any figures on the number of children reaching each scaled score and I don’t believe they represent percentiles.

Some figures here

Thank you for reply. That makes a bit more sense but they are hard to interpret!
