As measures of developed critical reading, mathematical and writing abilities 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 considered 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 self-selected 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 takers varies widely among states. In some states, a very small percentage of the college-bound seniors take the SAT. Typically, in a state with a very small percentage of the college-bound population taking the SAT, 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, mathematics and writing averages reported for these states will be higher than the national averages. In states where a greater proportion of students with a wide range of academic backgrounds take the SAT, the scores are closer to the national averages. ________________________ Excerpted from SAT Trends: Background on the SAT Takers in the Class of 2013.

The North Carolina SAT Report • 2013 v Background Evolution of the SAT The SAT is a high-stakes assessment that provides educators an important measure of academic achievement as students prepare for post-secondary college and career opportunities. Typically, students take the test during their junior and senior years to assess their ability to reason, to solve problems, and to gauge the knowledge and skills they develop in their high school course work (College Board, 2013). For nearly a century, the SAT has been used by college admissions officers as one of the tools for determining a student’s potential for succeeding in college. In addition to SAT scores, high school transcripts, high school grades, course selection, etc. are used. Since course content and grading standards may vary widely among high schools, the SAT provides colleges and universities an objective measure, which is uniform across all schools. Unlike the initial administration of the SAT in the late 1920’s when SAT takers were a few thousand mainly white male students, the public and private college-bound seniors who took the SAT in 2013 were more heterogeneous. According to the College Board’s SAT Trends, more students are taking pre-calculus; the majority of test-takers plan to apply for financial aid; larger numbers of traditionally under-represented minorities are included; female test-takers outnumber men; more test-takers speak languages other than English; greater majority of all test-takers were from public schools; interest in health careers has increased, while interest in education careers has decreased (College Board, SAT Trends, 2012). One half of public and nonpublic high school college-bound students in the nation took the SAT in 2013, compared with 62 percent of public and nonpublic high school college-bound seniors in North Carolina (NC). By comparison, 43 percent of the nation’s public school college-bound seniors took the test in 2013, compared with 57 percent of NC’s public college-bound seniors. 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 o o o o o 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 o 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 North Carolina SAT Report • 2013 1 o 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) 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 o 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. o The Verbal test was renamed “Critical Reading.” o Shorter reading passages were added to existing long reading passages. o Analogies were eliminated. o The mathematics section was revised to increase alignment with curricula and admissions expectations. o Quantitative comparisons were eliminated. o Content from third-year college-preparatory mathematics was added. o 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 its three subsections: critical reading, mathematics, and writing). To compare current SAT total scores with total scores prior to 2006, the sum of the critical reading and mathematics subsections are used. The critical reading section (formerly called verbal) focuses on reading and gauges students’ ability to draw inferences, to synthesize information, to differentiate between main and supporting ideas, and to understand vocabulary from context. The mathematics section requires students to apply numerical concepts to solve problems and to use data literacy skills to interpret tables, charts, and graphs. The writing section determines students’ ability to communicate ideas clearly and effectively, to improve writing through revision and editing, to recognize and identify sentence-level errors, to understand grammatical elements and structures, and to improve coherence of ideas within and among paragraphs. The following table is a summary of the nine subsections included on the current test: The North Carolina SAT Report • 2013 2 Section Content Critical Reading Extended Reasoning 70 minutes (two 25minute subsections and one 20-minute subsection) Literal Comprehension 4-6 Vocabulary in Context 4-6 Sentence Completions 19 Mathematics 70 minutes (two 25minute subsections and one 20-minute subsection) Writing Number of Questions 36-40 Total Number and Operations 67 11-14 Algebra and Functions 19-22 Geometry and Measurement 14-16 Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability 5-8 Total Essay 54 1 60 minutes (one 25- Improving Sentences 25 minute essay, one 25-minute multiple- Identifying Sentence Errors 18 choice subsection, and one 10-minute Improving Paragraphs 6 multiple-choice subsection) Total 50 Source: The College Board. “About the SAT.“ Educator’s Handbook for the SAT and the SAT Subject Tests, 2012-13. An additional 25-minute section, sometimes referred to as the “equating” or variable subsection does count toward the final score, and is designed to equate scores on newer editions of the SAT with scores on older editions and to test new questions for future editions. which may be critical reading, mathematics, or writing multiple-choice, makes the total testing time for the current SAT three hours and 45 minutes, compared to three hours for the previous version. The format of the three-hour and forty-five minute current version of the SAT bears little resemblance to the original test, which took about 97 minutes to complete (Lawrence et al., 2002). 2010 • Prior to 2010, the College Board reported SAT trend data for all students who took the test in through March of their senior year (when most students were expected to have taken the test). • In 2010, the College Board recognized that a significant segment of students were taking the The North Carolina SAT Report • 2013 3 SAT for the first time in May or June of their senior year. • “To provide a more complete picture of the total college-bound population,” the College Board moved the SAT national release date from late August to mid to late September to facilitate the inclusion of senior test-takers in the reporting cohort who took the SAT through June. As such, 2010 was the transition year from the March cohort to the June cohort. In this report, SAT scores reported for 2010 to 2012 are referred to as “adjusted” scores to reflect the widened cohort through June; SAT scores reported for previous years are referred to as “unadjusted” scores to reflect the March cohort. Factors Influencing Score Fluctuations After 2005 In 2013, North Carolina’s mean SAT score (1001) increased for the first time in six years. The last score increase was three points in 2008 when North Carolina’s mean score was 1007. From 2009 to 2012, North Carolina’s mean total score declined each year, from 1006 in 2009 to 997 in 2012, with the nation’s scores following a similar pattern. In 2012, NC’s total SAT score (997) was the lowest since 2001 when the total score was 993. From 2002 to 2005, NC’s total scores increased gradually each year. In 2006, after the SAT was revised with the revamping of the Critical Reading and Mathematics sections and the addition of the mandatory Writing portion, the state’s scores declined two points; and four points in 2007. In 2008, NC’s score (1007) increased three points from the previous year. The decline in SAT scores in North Carolina and the nation since 2008 might be associated with the following: 1) Change in Test-Taking Patterns: Gaston Caperton, former President of the College Board, suggested that the addition of Writing to the SAT might have indirectly influenced the recent decline in SAT scores after 2005 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). 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. 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. North Carolina’s Critical Reading score declined by four points, while its Mathematics score increased by two points -- a net decrease of two points. The decrease in SAT repeat test taking after the addition of the mandatory Writing section might have also been attributed to the increase in cost. 2) Increased Testing Time: Although there has been speculation that the 45-minute increase in testing time, especially after 2005, 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. The North Carolina SAT Report • 2013 4 3) Most Changes in SAT Scores Are Not Unusual. Table 1 shows the percentage of high schools in the nation experiencing changes in average SAT scores for College-Bound Seniors from 2012 to 2013. SAT score changes in low-volume schools (50-99 SAT takers) tend to be larger than those in mediumvolume (100-299 SAT takers) and high-volume (300+) schools. For example, 59 percent of lowvolume schools (50-99 SAT takers) had SAT mathematics scores rise or fall by 10 or more points, compared with 31 percent for high-volume schools (300+ test-takers). Similarly, nearly 50 percent of all schools in the nation with 50 or more SAT takers had critical reading, mathematics, and writing scores that increased or decreased by 10 points in 2013. Table 1.

(September, 2013). College Board Ad-Hoc Research Data File. New York: Author. Finally, when interpreting SAT score changes from year to year, the following points should be kept in mind: o Changes in SAT scores from year-to-year are not unusual. o Low-volume schools tend to have larger changes in critical reading, mathematics, and writing scores than medium-volume and high-volume schools. o The larger the test-taking population, the smaller SAT score changes tend to be. The North Carolina SAT Report • 2013 5 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. This report includes results for North Carolina’s seniors who took the SAT at any point in high school through June 2013. Trend scores for the most recent years are also shown where possible. 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). In this report, two types of total scores are indicated: Critical Reading + Mathematics (CR + M) and Critical Reading + Mathematics + Writing (CR + M + W). The CR+M total score is used for comparisons to historical SAT total scores prior to March 2005 (when Writing scores were included); the CR + M + W total score permits the inclusion of Writing in SAT total scores after March 2005. This report presents SAT results for students scheduled to graduate in 2013 and represents students’ most recent scores, regardless of when they took the test. Some results in this report reflect public and non-public school students in North Carolina and the United States, while others reflect only public school students. Distinctions between these types of results are indicated accordingly. The North Carolina SAT Report • 2013 6 Overall Performance (Public and Private Schools) North Carolina’s mean total SAT score (1001) increased four points in 2013 from the previous year, while the nation’s score (1010) did not change. Up to 2012, North Carolina’s mean total score had declined each year since 2009, from 1006 to 997, respectively (see Figure 1). The nation’s scores had followed a similar pattern over the same period. In recent years, North Carolina’s average yearly SAT gain has exceeded that of the nation. From 1989 to 2013, North Carolina’s average yearly gain has been about 2.0 points, compared with about 0.2 points for the nation (see Figure 2). The mean total SAT score (992) for the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia) in 2013 increased one point from the previous year. North Carolina’s score (1001) in 2013 was nine points higher than the Southeast score (992), compared with six points the previous year (see Figure 1). The participation rate for North Carolina’s public and private college-bound seniors in 2013 was 62 percent, down from 68 percent in 2012. This reduction may perhaps be attributed to the new requirement in 2012 that all high school juniors take the ACT as part of the state’s new READY accountability model. The new requirement enables all public school juniors to use ACT results for college admissions and not have to pay for another college entrance examination such as the SAT. In North Carolina, the number of private and public SAT takers (58,100) fell by 8.2 percent in 2013. The number of SAT takers in the nation (1,660,047) declined by 0.3 percent from the previous year (The College Board, 2013). The state’s public school test-takers (50,699) decreased by 9.0 percent in 2013, while the nation’s public school test-takers (1,295,267) increased by 0.8 percent. North Carolina’s mean total score (1001) in 2013 may be attributed to a four point increase in critical reading (495) while the mathematics score (506) remained the same (see Tables 3 and 11 in the Appendices). The nation’s mean total score (1010) remained the same, since the critical reading score (496) and the mathematics score (514) 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 2013 (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 (53 points) is third to Colorado (92 points) and Ohio (56 points) in SAT score gains from 1990 to 2013 (see Table 10). North Carolina’s writing score (478), up six points from the previous year, trailed the nation’s score (488) by 10 points in 2013 as shown in Table 11. In critical reading, North Carolina’s score (495), lagged the nation’s score (496) by just one point. The nation’s mathematics score (514) continued to lead North Carolina’s score (506) by eight points. North Carolina’s grand total score (1479) trailed the nation’s grand total score (1498) by 19 points (see Table 9).

The North Carolina SAT Report • 2013 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 (495) increased two points in 2013, while the nation’s score (496) did not change. The gap between North Carolina’s critical reading score and the nation’s score one points (see Figure 3).

Mean SAT Critical Reading Scores for North Carolina and the Nation, 2003-2013. In mathematics, North Carolina has gained substantially on the nation from 2003 to 2009; however, the gap has widened over the last three years. • • North Carolina’s mathematics score (506) in 2013 was eight points lower than the nation’s score (514), the same as the previous year (see Figure 4). North Carolina’s mathematics score in 2013 (506) is down three points from the 2010 score (509), while the nation’s score is down by one point.

Gender Figure 5 shows mean total SAT scores for the United States and North Carolina by gender from 2003 to 2013. 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 gap between mean total SAT scores for North Carolina’s males and females (34 points) in 2013, two points wider than in 2003. The gap between total mean SAT scores for the nation’s males and females (37 points) in 2013, narrowed by six points from the gap (43 points) in 2003. The gap between North Carolina’s males and females (34) and the nation’s males and females (43) in 2013 decreased by nine points from 2003 to 2013.

Table 2 (page 13) shows 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 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 2003 to 2013 has been about 29.0 points, compared with about 34 points for the nation. The average gap between North Carolina’s male and female critical reading scores over the same period has been about 5 points, slightly less than the average gap for the nation.

Figure 6 and Table 6 (page 37) show mean total SAT scores for North Carolina by race/ethnicity from 2003 to 2013. • • • • • • In 2013, Asian American, Hispanics, and Black racial/ethnic groups improved scores from the previous year (see Figure 6 and Table 6, page 37). For the eighth consecutive year since 2006, Asians (1089) scored higher than other racial/ethnic groups, followed by White (1059), Hispanic (954), American Indian (908), and Black students (854) [see Figure 6]. North Carolina’s Asian students (1098) and White students (1059) were the only racial/ethnic groups to exceed the United States average (1010) in 2013 (Figure 6). In 2013, all North Carolina’s racial/ethnic groups showed decreases in number of test-takers (The College Board, 2013). The largest decreases in percentages of test-takers were by “Other” students (13.5%), Black students (10.5%), American Indian students (8.8%), White students (7.6%) and Hispanic students (5.9%), respectively. Hispanic students represented the only racial/ethnic subgroup to score higher than their national counterparts, with a score of 954, compared with 911 for Hispanics in the nation (see Table 6, page 37). North Carolina’s Black students have historically scored lower on the SAT than other racial/ethnic groups. In 2013, the score for Black students (854), while seven points higher than the previous year’s score, was 244 points lower than the score for Asian students (1098), 205 points lower than the score for White students (1059), 100 points lower than the score for Hispanic students (954), and 54 points lower than the score for American Indian students (908) as shown in Figure 6 and Table 5 (page 36).

Grade Point Average (GPA) Figure 11 shows mean total SAT scores by grade point average and racial/ethnic group for public school students in 2011. • • As self-reported GPA increased, the SAT score gap between white and black students increased from 147 points in the “E” range to 170 points in the “A” range (see Figure 11). In general, as self-reported GPA increased, SAT scores increased, and the white-black gap widened. 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.

The North Carolina SAT Report • 2013 21 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, 2013). The mean total SAT score (1001) for North Carolina’s college-bound seniors in 2013 was 90 points lower than the score (1091) for freshmen entering the University of North Carolina system in 2012. [SAT scores for the University of North Carolina System in 2013 were not available.] The average total SAT score for freshmen entering the University of North Carolina System from 2002 to 2012 was about 1082, while the average for North Carolina’s graduating seniors (1004) was about 78 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 2012, mean total scores ranged from 856 at Fayetteville State University to 1305 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (The University of North Carolina, 2012). Figure 13 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, entering freshmen at the University of North Carolina system institutions, and other selected institutions (Harvard and Howard Universities). All UNC System scores are based on 2012 results; scores for Harvard ad Howard Universities are based on 2012 results due to the unavailability of more recent scores. The bands in the figure show the range in which the middle half of the students scored. Twenty-five 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 2013 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 (HBCUs), is unique in that it serves a diverse range of student abilities and might serve students in the upper 75 percent of 2013 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 13).

The North Carolina SAT Report • 2013 23 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, 2013). While this is true for states (see Figure 14) where there is a -0.91 correlation between mean total SAT scores and participation rates, the opposite association is observed for public schools in North Carolina (see Figure 15). In 2013, 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, page 5). 1300 United States x - Represents a State Correlation = -0.91 1250 North Carolina 1200 1150 1100 Mean Total SAT Score 1050 1000 950 900 400 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Figure 14.

The North Carolina SAT Report • 2013 25 Public Schools Mean total SAT scores for North Carolina’s public schools have lagged the scores of public schools in the nation (see Figure 16). However, in recent years, North Carolina’s public schools have been improving at a faster rate than those in the nation. • • • • • North Carolina had 50,699 public school test-takers in 2013, nine percent fewer than in 2012. With scores of 490 in critical reading and 503 in mathematics in 2013, North Carolina’s public school score (993) increased one point from the previous year. The nation’s public mean total SAT score (994) -- 491 in critical reading and 503 in mathematics -- fell two points from the previous year (see Figure 6). From 2003 to 2013, the gap between the nation’s score and North Carolina’s score has decreased from 17 points to one point. The number of public school SAT takers in the nation (1,295,267) increased by 0.8 percent from the previous year (The College Board, 2013). 1050 1025 1016 1017 1020 1014 1007 1007 1006 1007 1000 1006 Mean Total 1000 SAT Score 1003 1008 999 1003 1003 1002 996 994 996 992 999 993 975 950 North Carolina 400 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 United States 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Note: Data for 2010-2013 included student cohorts through June; data for previous years included cohorts only through March.

Mean Total SAT Scores (Critical Reading + Mathematics) for Public School Students in North Carolina and the Nation, 2003-2013. • • The mean writing score for public school students in North Carolina (472) was up five points from the previous year’s score (467) as shown in Table 12 (page 54). Nationally, the writing score (480) for public school students in 2013 fell one point from the previous year’s score (see Table 12, page 54). Figures 17, 18 and 19 (pages 33-35) show the distribution of critical reading, mathematics, and writing SAT scores, respectively, for North Carolina’s public schools by number of students.

Atkins Academic & Technology High (340311) opened July 1, 2011. The number of test-takers and SAT scores for the three closed schools were consolidated under the new school (Atkins Academic & Technology High - 340311). 2 3 Note: United States and North Carolina totals include all schools (public and non-public); Percent tested is the number of students taking the SAT divided by the final ADM for grades 9-13 + Extended Day 9-13. All scores in this table have been adjusted and reflect senior test-takers who took the SAT at any point during a given year through June. These scores are not directly comparable with unadjusted scores, i.e. scores based on cohorts of senior test-takers only through March; An asterisk (*) indicates that there were fewer than five test-takers.
