A Note on the Use of Aggregate SAT Data∗
As measures of developed verbal and mathematical abilities that are important for success in college,
SAT scores are useful in making decisions about individual students and assessing their academic
preparation. Because of the increasing public interest in educational accountability, aggregate test data
continue to be widely publicized and analyzed. Aggregate scores can be properly used as one indicator of
educational quality when used in conjunction with a careful examination of other conditions that affect
the educational enterprise.
However, it is important to note that many College Board tests are taken only by particular groups of selfselected students. Therefore, aggregate results of their performance on these tests usually do not reflect
the educational attainment of all students in a school, district, or state.
Useful comparisons of students’ performance are possible only if all students take the same test. Average
SAT scores are not appropriate for state comparisons because the percentage of SAT test takers varies
widely among states. In some states, a very small percentage of the college-bound seniors take the SAT.
Typically, these students have strong academic backgrounds and are applicants to the nation’s most
selective colleges and scholarship programs. Therefore, it is expected that the SAT critical reading,
mathematical, and writing averages reported for these states will be higher than the national average. In
states where a greater proportion of students, with a wide range of academic backgrounds, take the SAT,
and where most colleges in the state require the test for admission, the scores are closer to the national
average.
In looking at average SAT scores, the user must understand the context in which the particular test scores
were earned. Other factors variously related to performance on the SAT include academic courses
studied in high school, family background, and education of parents. These factors and others of a less
tangible nature could very well have a significant influence on average scores.

Background
Evolution of the SAT
The SAT (formerly known as the SAT® I Reasoning Test) assesses students’ reasoning based on the
knowledge and skills they developed in their course work (College Board, 2010). For over eight
decades, college admission’s staff and other educators have used SAT scores to assist in understanding
and in interpreting students’ readiness for matriculation in college. SAT scores (in addition to high
school transcripts and other student information) have been used by colleges and universities as
uniform and objective measures for making informed decisions about students’ abilities and
achievement.
Unlike the initial administration of the SAT in the late 1920’s when test-takers were a few thousand
mainly white male students who sought admission into prestigious colleges and universities in the
Eastern United States, SAT test takers in 2010 were much larger in number and more diverse. SAT
test-takers in 2010 represented diverse racial/ethnic groups, socioeconomic levels and educational
backgrounds, and larger numbers of first generation test-takers. Forty-seven percent of the nation’s
3,310,631 million (WICHE, 2008) public and nonpublic high school graduates took the examination in
2010, compared with 63 percent of the 92,540 (WICHE, 2008) public and nonpublic high school
graduates in North Carolina. About ten percent more females in North Carolina and eight percent
more females in the nation took the SAT than did males in 2010 (see Table 5), continuing a trend that
began in the 1970’s.
Since its initial development in 1926, the SAT has undergone changes in an effort to align its content
with evolving curricula and instructional practices in high schools and colleges (College Board, 2004).
Below is a brief chronology of the major changes that have occurred since the test’s original inception:
1994
•
•
•
•
•
Critical reading questions were given more emphasis.
Longer reading passages were added.
Non-multiple choice questions in mathematics were introduced.
Calculators were allowed for the first time.
Antonyms were eliminated.
1995
•
•
The Educational Testing Service (ETS) changed the test’s name from the Scholastic Aptitude
Test to the Scholastic Assessment Test. ETS aimed to retain the original acronym, while
dispelling the numerous objections to the test being called an ‘aptitude’ test.
The SAT’s scale was re-centered due to increased diversity of the college-bound senior
population. The original SAT verbal and mathematics scales derived their universal meaning
from a 1941 reference group of slightly more than 10,000 test takers, which was less
heterogeneous than the college-bound senior population in 1990. Re-centering the SAT scales
resulted in two major changes: (1) The average scores for both the SAT I critical reading and
mathematics tests were re-established at 500 – the midpoint of the 200-800 scale; and (2)
The North Carolina SAT Report • 2010

critical reading and mathematics scales were aligned so that critical reading and mathematics
scores could be compared directly. Prior to re-centering, critical reading and mathematics
scores could be compared only by looking at percentiles.
2005
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
In an effort to better align the SAT’s content with contemporary curricula and practices in high
schools and colleges, a new test was administered.
The Verbal test was renamed “Critical Reading.”
Shorter reading passages were added to existing long reading passages.
Analogies were eliminated.
The mathematics section was revised to increase alignment with curricula and admissions
expectations.
Quantitative comparisons were eliminated.
Content from third-year college-preparatory mathematics was added.
A writing section was added to help colleges make better admissions and placement decisions
and to reinforce the importance of writing in a student’s education. The writing test included
multiple-choice items, grammar usage questions, and a written essay.
The maximum total score on the current SAT is 2400, 800 points for each of the three areas. In
comparing current SAT total scores with scores prior to 2006, only total scores on the critical reading
and mathematics portions are used.
Brief comparisons of the Critical Reading, Mathematics, and Writing content of the old SAT and the
current SAT are provided in the following tables:

An additional 25-minute section, which may be either a critical reading, mathematics, or writing
multiple-choice section, makes the total testing time for the new SAT three hours and 45 minutes.
This section, which does not count toward the final score, is designed to equate scores on newer
editions of the SAT with scores on older editions and to test new questions for future editions of the
SAT. The format of the three-hour and forty-five minute test administered in 2010 bears little
resemblance to the original test, which took about 97 minutes to complete (Lawrence et al., 2002).
Factors Influencing Score Fluctuations
For the fifth consecutive year after the inception of the “new” SAT, with the addition of a mandatory
Writing component, scores in North Carolina and the nation are still lower than they were the year
prior to the inclusion of Writing. Specific reasons for the decrease in scores over the past five years
have not been clearly identified. However, several speculations have been advanced.
Four years ago, Gaston Caperton, President of the College Board, suggested that the addition of
Writing to the SAT might have indirectly influenced the recent decline in SAT scores when he stated:
“When a new test is introduced, students usually vary their test-taking behavior in a variety of ways
and this affects scores.” (The College Board, 2006).
The College Board has acknowledged that declining SAT scores at both the national and state levels
since the transition to the new test in 2005 might be associated with subsequent changes in students’
test-taking patterns, most notably a decline in retesting. Historically, students who take the SAT a
second time increase their combined score by 30 points. In 2006, fewer students took the SAT a
second time which, according to the College Board, contributed to a score decline of seven points
across the critical reading and mathematics sections of the SAT. For example, in 2006 the nation’s
critical reading score declined from 508 to 503 and its mathematics score declined from 520 to 518 for
a net decrease of seven points. On the other hand, North Carolina’s critical reading score declined by
four points, while its mathematics score increased by two points, which is a net decrease of two points.
The College Board points out that since 1973, a change of 7 points or greater in mean scores has
occurred in five of those years.
Although there has been speculation that the 45-minute increase in testing time has adversely affected
student performance, the College Board contends that its research shows otherwise. In its analyses, the
College Board reported no differences in either the number of items correct or the number of items
omitted for sections that appeared early in the test and for sections that appeared later in the test.
Table 1 shows the percentage of schools in the nation whose mean SAT Reasoning Test scores rose or
fell in 2009-2010. SAT score changes in low-volume schools (50-99 test-takers) tend to be larger than
in medium-volume (100-299 test takers) and high-volume (300+) schools. For example, 60 percent of
low-volume schools (50-99 test takers) had SAT mathematics scores rise or fall by 10 or more points,
compared with 30 percent of high-volume schools (300+ test-takers).

When interpreting SAT score changes from year to year, the following points should be kept in mind:
•
•
•
Changes in SAT scores from year-to-year are not unusual.
Low-volume schools tend to have larger changes in critical reading, math, and writing scores
than medium-volume and high-volume schools.
The larger the test-taking population, the smaller SAT score changes tend to be.
Scope and Limitations
In addition to being reliable indicators of students’ preparation for college, aggregate SAT scores for a
series of years can reveal trends in the academic preparation of students who take the test. Thus, this
report includes the SAT performance of North Carolina’s students in 2010 and trend scores for recent
years.
Rankings or residual rankings are not used in this report in compliance with the College Board’s
Guidelines on the Uses of College Board Test Scores and Related Data and with professional
standards for educational and psychological testing. The guidelines caution against the use of SAT

scores in aggregate form as a single measure to rank or rate states, educational institutions, school
systems, schools, or teachers. A Note on the Use of Aggregate SAT Data on page v provides details for
why such uses are inappropriate.
“Relationships between test scores and other factors such as educational background, gender,
race/ethnic background, parental education, and household income are complex and interdependent.
These factors do not directly affect test performance; rather, they are associated with educational
experiences both on tests such as the SAT Reasoning Test and in schoolwork” (College Board, 2008).
This report presents SAT results for students scheduled to graduate in 2010 and represents students’
most recent scores, regardless of when they took the test. The scores in this report reflect public and
non-public school students in North Carolina and the United States, except where otherwise noted.
In this report, two types of total scores are indicated: Critical Reading+Mathematics (CR+M) and
Critical Reading+Mathematics+Writing (CR+M+W). These designations are used to permit
maintenance of the ‘old’ SAT total score for trend purposes and the inclusion of writing scores in the
‘new’ SAT total score.

Overall Performance (Public and Private Schools)
North Carolina’s mean total SAT score (1008) in 2010 increased by two points from the previous year
(see Figure 1). In comparison, the nation’s score (1017) rose one point from the previous year. In
recent years, North Carolina’s average yearly SAT gain has exceeded that of the nation. (see Figure 2).
From 1989 to 2010, North Carolina’s average yearly gain has been about 2.7, compared with about 0.5
points for the nation.
The mean total SAT score (998) for the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
and Virginia) in 2010 fell one point after three years of scoring 999. After trailing the Southeast for a
number of years, North Carolina has outscored the southeast by an average of six points since 2002
(see Figure 1).
Among all states (and the District of Columbia), North Carolina’s participation rate (63 percent) was
the 13th highest and has remained the same the past three years (see Table 11 in the Appendices). By
comparison, the nation’s rate (47 percent) was up one percent from the previous year. It should be
noted that participation rates for the past three years are comparable since they were based on the same
projection edition by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE, 2008).
Participation rates for years based on different projection editions are not comparable.
In North Carolina, the number of SAT takers increased by 1.2 percent in 2010 — from 57,147 in 2009
to 57,841 in 2010. By comparison, the number of SAT takers in the nation increased by the same
percentage, from 1,530,128 in 2009 to 1,547,990 in 2010 (The College Board, 2010).
North Carolina’s mean total score increased from 1006 in 2009 to 1008 in 2010 due to a two-point
increase in critical reading (from 495 in 2009 to 497 in 2010); the mathematics score (511) did not
change for the third consecutive year (see Tables 3 and 11 in the Appendices). Similarly, the nation’s
mean total score rose one point (from 1016 in 2009 to 1017 in 2010) due to a one point gain in
mathematics (from 515 in 2009 to 516 in 2010); the critical reading score (501) did not change.
The gap between North Carolina’s mean total score and the nation’s score has narrowed from 53 points
in 1990 to 9 points in 2010 (see Table 3 in the Appendices). Since 1972, the SAT score gap between
North Carolina and the nation has narrowed by 74 points.
Among states with at least 10 percent of SAT takers, North Carolina (60 points) is second to Colorado
(73 points) in SAT score gains from 1990 to 2010 (see Table 10). Among the “SAT States,” (the 22
states with more than 50 percent SAT takers), North Carolina has the largest 10-year gain (15 points)
in mathematics (see Table 11).
North Carolina’s writing score (477), down two points from the previous year, trailed the nation’s
score (492) by 15 points as shown in Table 11. In critical reading, North Carolina’s score (497) was
four points lower than the nation’s score (501). The nation’s mathematics score (516) led North
Carolina’s score (511) by five points.
North Carolina’s grand total score (Critical Reading+
Mathematics+Writing) was 1485, compared with 1509 for the nation (Table 9).

Critical Reading and Mathematics Scores
In previous years, North Carolina’s critical reading and mathematics SAT scores have lagged the
nation’s scores, but the gaps have narrowed continually over the last decade. The gap in mathematics
has closed more rapidly over the last decade (see Figures 3 and 4).
•
•
North Carolina’s critical reading score (497) improved by two points in 2010, while the
nation’s score (501) did not change.
The nation’s critical reading score exceeded North Carolina’s score by only four points in
2010, compared with 13 points in 2000 (see Figure 3).

Gender
Figure 5 shows mean total SAT scores for the United States and North Carolina by gender from 2000
to 2010. In past years, males in North Carolina and the United States have scored higher on the SAT
than females, although females earn higher grades in high school and college (Vars and Bowen, 1998).
•
•
The 29 point gap between mean total SAT scores for North Carolina’s males and females in
2000 remained in 2010.
The gap between total mean SAT scores for male and female students in the nation is about 10
points wider than the gap for North Carolina’s male and female students; however, like the gap
between males and females in North Carolina, the gap has not narrowed over the past decade
(see Figure 5). In 2010, the score (1037) for males nationally was 39 points higher than the
score (998) of their female counterparts. In 2000, the nation’s score (1040) for males was 38
points higher than the score (976) for females.

Figure 5. Mean Total SAT Scores (Critical Reading + Mathematics) for the United States and North
Carolina by Gender, 2000-2010.
While the gaps between total mean SAT scores for males and females in North Carolina and between
males and female scores in the nation have been intransigent from 2000 to 2010, North Carolina’s
males and females have gained appreciably on their national counterparts (see Figure 5).
•
•
In 2010, the gap between the score (1037) of the nation’s males and the score of North
Carolina’s males (1024) was 13 points; in 2000, the nation’s males scored 1040 and North
Carolina’s males scored 1005 – a difference of 38 points.
Similarly, the nation’s females scored 1002 in 2000 and North Carolina’s females scored 976 –
a difference of 26 points. In contrast, the nation’s females scored 998 in 2010 while North
Carolina’s females scored 995 – a difference of only 3 points.
Table 2 displays mean critical reading and mathematics scores for males and females in North Carolina
and the nation. Males have scored higher than females on the mathematics portion of the SAT since its
inception in the early 1920’s (Wilder and Powell, 1989). However, only over the past three decades
have males begun to consistently score higher than females in critical reading, although the differences
are smaller than in mathematics.
•
•
The average gap between male and female mathematics scores in North Carolina from 2000 to
2010 has been 28.9 points, compared with 34.4 points for the nation.
In comparison, the average gap between North Carolina’s male and female critical reading
scores over the same period has been 4.2 points, just one point less than the average gap for the
nation.

Race/Ethnicity
Historically, White and Asian American students have attained higher SAT scores than other
racial/ethnic groups in North Carolina, with Hispanics, American Indians, and Blacks scoring lower.
Figure 6 shows mean total SAT scores for North Carolina by race/ethnicity from 2000 to 2010 and
Table 6 shows the performance of racial/ethnic groups, and “Other”, and “No Response” categories
from 2006 to 2010.
•
•

•
•
•
•
•
•
In 2010, all racial/ethnic groups improved their scores from the previous year (see Figure 6 and
Table 6).
For the fifth consecutive year since 2006, Asians (1088) achieved the highest score, followed
by Whites (1064). “Other” students (1001) scored next highest followed by Hispanics (969),
American Indians (915), and Black students (859) [see Table 6].
Asian students made the largest gain (13 points) from the previous year among North
Carolina’s racial/ethnic groups in 2010, although the “Other” student category improved by 29
points. Hispanic students had the next largest gain with six points (see Table 6).
North Carolina’s Asian students (1088) and White students (1064) were the only racial/ethnic
groups to exceed the United States average (1017) in 2010 (Figure 6).
Among racial/ethnic groups in North Carolina in 2010, Hispanic students (19.6%) had the
largest increase in test-takers from the previous year, followed by American Indian (8.5%),
Asian (6.9 %), and Black (3.3%) students (The College Board, 2010).“Other” students (-4.0%),
White students (-1.0%), and “No Response” students (-0.5%) had fewer test-takers than in the
previous year (The College Board, 2010).
In 2010, Hispanic students and “No Response” students continued to represent the only
racial/ethnic groups in North Carolina to score consistently higher than their national
counterparts (see Table 6).
In 2010, North Carolina’s Hispanic students scored 969, which was 52 points higher than the
score (917) of their national counterparts. (It should be noted that Hispanic students comprised
five percent of North Carolina’s test takers in 2010, while nationally, Hispanics accounted for
14 percent of the test-takers as shown in Table 5).
North Carolina’s Black students have historically scored lower on the SAT than other
racial/ethnic groups.
In 2010, Black students scored 859, three points higher than the previous year’s score. This
score was 229 points lower than the score (1088) for Asian students’ score, 205 points lower
than the score (1064) for White students, 110 points lower than the score (969) for Hispanic
students, and 56 points lower than the score (915) for American Indian students (see Tables 5
and 6).
Figure 6 shows that all racial/ethnic groups have improved their total mean SAT scores (CR +
Mathematics) since 2000, except Hispanic students whose score (970) in 2010 was one point lower
than their score (970) in 2000.
•
Asian Americans have gained more points since 2000 than other racial/ethnic groups in North
Carolina (see Figure 6). For Asian Americans, the mean total score (1075) in 2010 was 64
points higher than the score in 2000.
The North Carolina SAT Report • 2010

•
Gains for other racial/ethnic groups over the same time period have been 29 points for White
students, 24 points for Black students, and 18 points for American Indian students.

Figure 11 shows mean total SAT scores by family income for North Carolina and the nation in 20092010. For the majority of income categories reported by the College Board, differences in scores for
North Carolina and the nation were similar.
•
•
•
•
The most notable difference was observed for the less than $20,000 income category where
students in the nation outscored students in North Carolina by 16 points.
For the income categories $20,000 to $40,000 and $40,000 to $60,000, students in the nation
outscored students in North Carolina by eight points and three points, respectively.
For the income categories between $60,000 and greater than $200,000, students in the nation
and students in North Carolina scored similarly, except between $140,000 and $160,000 where
North Carolina’s students scored 12 points higher than the nation’s students.
This figure demonstrates the strong relationship between mean total SAT scores and family
income in North Carolina and the nation.

Family Income in Thousands of Dollars
Figure 11. Mean Total SAT Scores (Critical Reading + Mathematics) for Students in North Carolina
and the Nation by Family Income, 2009-2010.
Among racial/ethnic groups, North Carolina’s mean total SAT scores increased as family income
increased in 2010 (see Figure 12).
•
White students who reported income levels below the poverty line (earned less than $20,000
per annum) scored 27 points higher than Native American students who earned over $200,000
per annum and 6 points higher than black students who reported family incomes greater than
$200,000 per annum.
Despite strong evidence in the research literature that parental income is positively correlated with
student achievement, these data suggest that there are other factors that also impact student

students are very small at the higher income categories.

Figure 13 shows mean total SAT scores by grade point average and racial/ethnic group for public
school students.
•
As self-reported GPA increased, the SAT score gap between white and black students increased
from 127 points in the “D” range to 167 points in the “A” range. The scores in the “E” range
appear to be spurious and are inconsistent with the other numbers in the figure.
•
For Hispanic students and American Indian students, relative to white students, as GPA
increased from “C” to “A”, score gaps increased from 62 points to 85 points for Hispanic
students and decreased for American Indian students from 113 points to 110 points.

Figure 13. Mean Total SAT Scores (Critical Reading + Mathematics) and Self-Reported Grade Point
Average for Public School Racial/Ethnic Groups in North Carolina, 2009-2010.
Research has shown that a composite of SAT scores and high school GPA together predict first-year
college grades. The ‘predictive validity’ is approximately 0.61 (The College Board, 2008). Hence,
one would expect SAT scores and high school grades to be strongly associated.
Figure 14 shows mean total SAT scores and self-reported grade point averages for male and female
public school students in North Carolina in 2010.

•
Male students with higher GPAs attained higher SAT scores than their female counterparts.
At the “A” and “B” levels, males outscored females by 53 points, by 34 points at the “C” level,
and by 8 points at the “D” level.
At the “E” level, females scored higher than males by 242 points. In the previous year, males
scored 161 points higher than females at this grade level.

North Carolina and the University of
North Carolina System
Historically, mean total SAT scores for freshmen entering the University of North Carolina System
each year have been higher than those for North Carolina’s graduating seniors (The University of
North Carolina, 2010).
The mean total SAT score (1008) for North Carolina’s college-bound seniors in 2010 was 76 points
lower than the score (1084) for freshmen entering the University of North Carolina system in 2009.
[SAT scores for the University of North Carolina System in 2010 were not available for inclusion in
this report.] The average total SAT score for freshmen entering the University of North Carolina
System from 1999 to 2009 has been 1076, while the average for North Carolina’s graduating seniors
(1001) has been 75 points lower during the same period. This trend suggests that many of North
Carolina’s students who do not perform well on the SAT do not enter the University of North Carolina
System. These students may elect other post-secondary options, which might include colleges and
universities with lower SAT requirements, community college, military service, or full-time
employment.
Schools within the University of North Carolina System serve a wide variety of student abilities as
reflected in the mean total SAT scores of their entering freshmen. In 2009, scores ranged from 841 at
Elizabeth City State University to 1302 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (The
University of North Carolina, 2009).
Figure 15 shows the range of mean total SAT scores between the 25th and 75th percentiles of North
Carolina’s college-bound seniors, the nation’s college-bound seniors, and entering freshmen at the
University of North Carolina system institutions and other selected institutions in 2009. The bands in
the figure show the range in which the middle half of the students scored — 25 percent of students
scored at or below the lower end of the band and 25 percent scored at or above the upper end of the
band.
The figure also shows that each of the University of North Carolina system institutions serves some
students who score in the middle 50 percent of college-bound seniors in North Carolina and the nation.
Duke, Wake Forest, the University of North Carolina and Harvard Universities are more likely to serve
students who score in the top 25 percent of 2010 college-bound seniors in North Carolina and the
nation and less likely to serve students who score in the lower 50 percent. On the other hand, Howard
University, recognized as one of the elite Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), is
unique in that it serves a diverse range of student abilities and might serve students in the upper 75
percent of 2010 college-bound seniors in North Carolina and the nation. Howard University is the
only HBCU that might serve students in the top quartile of North Carolina’s college-bound seniors (see
Figure 15).

North Carolina’s School Systems and Schools
Among states, the higher the percentage of students taking the SAT (participation rate), the lower the
average SAT scores (The College Board, 2009). While this is true for states (see Figure 16) where
there is a -0.88 correlation between mean total SAT scores and participation rates, the opposite
association is observed for public schools in North Carolina (see Figure 17). In 2010, the Pearson
correlation between the percent of students taking the SAT and the mean total SAT score for public
schools was 0.27. These correlations suggest that participation rate is a lesser factor in predicting SAT
scores for public school systems and public schools in North Carolina than for states.
In view of the above correlations, schools and school systems in North Carolina should exercise
caution when attributing decreases or increases in mean SAT scores to changes in participation rate.
Interpretations of fluctuations in SAT scores at a particular school or system or between schools and
systems should take into account that SAT scores are influenced by multiple factors. Among such
factors are course-taking patterns, curriculum content, course standards, parental education,
and family income. It is also important to recognize that about 50% of all schools and school
systems in the nation have changes in their mean critical reading or math SAT scores of plus or minus
10 points from year to year (see Table 1).

Public Schools
Mean total SAT scores for North Carolina’s public schools have lagged those of public schools in the
nation (see Figure 18). However, in recent years, North Carolina’s public schools have been
improving at a faster rate than those in the nation.
•
•
•
•
•
In 2010, North Carolina had 48,068 public school test-takers, a 5.9 percent increase from the
previous year’s test-takers (45,376).
With scores of 494 in critical reading and 511 in mathematics in 2010, North Carolina’s public
school score (1005) rose one point from the previous year.
The nation’s mean total SAT score (1009) increased two points from the previous year, with
498 in critical reading (up one point from the previous year) and 511 in mathematics (up one
point from the previous year) as shown in Table 12 in the Appendices.
The number of public school SAT takers in the nation (1,114,273) increased by 2 percent from
the number of test-takers (1,093,374) in the previous year (The College Board, 2010).
The mean total SAT score for North Carolina’s public schools (986) in 2000 lagged that of
public schools nationally (1013) by 27 points, compared with only four points in 2010.

The percent of high school graduates tested is based upon the recently revised projection of high school graduates in 2009 by the
Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE), and the number of students in the class of 2009 who took the SAT
Reasoning Test in each state. Updated projections make it inappropriate to compare percentages for any given year with those
of other years.
