Program Guide
What is the SAT?
• The STANFORD ACHIEVEMENT TEST
– Helps educators make data-driven decisions. A range of userfriendly score reports, designed with the input of administrators and
teachers across the country, supports, teaching, learning, and
accountability requirements.
– Administrators: obtain critical data to document and monitor the
progress of all children and to disaggregate results according to
federal mandates.
– Teachers: receive specific information to support instructional
planning for individual students and the class as well as to improve
their teaching.
– Parents: better understand their child’s achievement level and get
direction for home involvement.

the SAT

HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOUR
CHILD CAN DO:
HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU AS A
PARENT CAN DO:
•
REST: Get a good nights sleep
before taking the SAT
EAT: A good breakfast on the
morning that you take the SAT is
important.
LISTEN: Listen carefully to the
directions the teacher gives and
follow them exactly. If you don’t
understand what to do, ask the

explain them again.

DISCUSS: Help your child
understand that the SAT provides a
chance to show what a student
knows about a subject and how the
teacher can best help the student to
learn. Make sure your child
understands that the SAT scores
simply give information. They will not
be used to reward or punish
students.
SUPPORT: See the your child
keeps up regular study habits

the test- taking experience. Students
who are calm and sure of
