Marini, Paul A. Westrick, Linda Young, and Emily J. Shaw  \nKey Takeaways  \n• Students’ digital SAT scores are strongly related to their scores on the current SAT, suggesting that the digital and current SAT scores measure highly similar constructs.  \n• The strength of the relationships between students’ digital SAT scores with their HSGPAs, PSAT/NMSQT® Total scores, and Average AP® Exam scores parallel the strength of the relationships between their current SAT scores with these same measures.  \n• This study provides initial evidence that digital SAT scores can be used in the same ways as current SAT scores.  \nIntroduction  \nAccording to the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, one of the five primary sources of test score validity evidence is that based on relations to other variables (AERA, APA, NCME, 2014) . While most frequently those other variables are relevant outcomes or criteria of interest, there is also value in collecting what is referred to as convergent evidence, or relationships between test scores and other measures that assess similar constructs (e.g. , academic preparation, college readiness) . This study examines relationships between digital SAT scores and other relevant educational measures, such as high school grade point average (HSGPA), PSAT/NMSQT Total score, and Average AP Exam score, and compares those relationships to current paper and pencil SAT score relationships with the same measures. This information can provide reassurances to future digital SAT-takers and test score users when findings show that digital SAT scores are measuring the constructs they are intended to, and that they are doing so in nearly identical ways to the paper and pencil SAT. That is what this study aims to do.  \nIt’s useful to recall what is changing about the SAT and what remains the same. The SAT will transition from a paperand-pencil to a digital exam at international test centers in spring 2023 and at U.S. schools and test centers in spring 2024. Central to this transition is making an SAT that is shorter, more secure, more relevant, and simpler to deliver than ever before. The digital SAT will continue to measure the skills and knowledge that students are learning in school and that matter most for college and career readiness, and the scores will be reported on the 200-800 scale for both the Reading and Writing and Math sections. However, the digital SAT will be shorter than the current SAT (about 2 hours and 14 minutes instead of 3 hours) , students will have more time, on average, to answer each test question, the Reading and Writing section will feature many shorter passages instead of longer texts, calculators will be permitted throughout the entire Math section, and the length of the word problems in the Math section has been  \nreduced. The digital SAT will utilize a multistage adaptive testing design that will result in the shorter test length while maintaining the measurement precision of the current test. For more information on all of these design changes and more , please see  The Digital SAT Suite of Assessments Specifications Overview (College Board, 2022) .  \nThere is a critical pilot study underway to examine the predictive validity of digital SAT scores with college outcomesand the findings from this pilot study will be available at the launch of the digital SAT. Until then , this study can help us better understand the nature and meaning of digital SAT scores , how they relate to current SAT scores , and how we might expect them to relate to various other educational measures. We will continue to study the predictive validity of digital SAT score relationships with college outcomes across large national samples of students in the coming years as the applicable data become available.  \nSample  \nThe sample of students for this study comes from a pilot conco","cbCainU1A1RsfNop","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainU1A1RsfNop","pdf",377384,"English","# Key Takeaways\n# Introduction\n# Sample\n## Table 1: Student Demographics of the Overall Sample","[{\"question\":\"What does the study examine about digital SAT scores?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines relationships between digital SAT scores and other educational measures that assess similar constructs, including current SAT scores, HSGPA, PSAT/NMSQT total scores, and average AP exam scores.\"},{\"question\":\"How does digital SAT scoring relate to current paper-and-pencil SAT scoring?\",\"answer\":\"Students’ digital SAT scores are strongly related to their current SAT scores, indicating the digital and current SAT measure highly similar constructs in nearly identical ways.\"},{\"question\":\"Where does the study sample come from?\",\"answer\":\"The sample comes from a spring 2022 pilot concordance study in which high school students took both the digital SAT and the paper-and-pencil SAT, with an initial total of 6,373 students.\"}]","Digital SAT - Score Relationships with Other Educational Measures - Early Convergent Validity Evidence | PDF",1792048379]
