These students  \nconstitute approximately two-thirds of all first-year, full-time entering college students. Approximately 50 percent of these high school students take the SAT I more than once. Some take it five times during their high school careers.  \nInformation on repeat testing and the probability that a student’s SAT I score will change may help students and educators make better-informed decisions about retesting. This information would also be useful for high school counselors who advise students regarding testing, and for college admission officers and faculty who use SAT I scores for admission and placement decisions. Recent analyses have shown that student performance on repeat testing (i.e. , taking the SAT I more than once) is influenced by a number of factors. It is important to consider the semester (fall or spring) and year (junior or senior) of the initial testing, the score of the initial testing, and the length of time between testings, all factors that affect whether, and by how much, scores will change. Also of interest is the average degree of score change students can expect between taking the PSAT/NMSQT and the SAT I.  \nThe PSAT/NMSQT measures developed verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and developed writing skills related to academic success in college. The PSAT/NMSQT is administered to over two million students each October, the majority of which are high school sophomoresand juniors. Students take the PSAT/NMSQT for a variety of reasons. The PSAT/NMSQT yields infor-  \n KEYWORDS:   \nScore Change SAT  \nPSAT/NMSQT  \nmation that can be used by high school counselors to assist high school students in course selection, college planning, and scholarship awards. Unlike the SAT I,  \nwhich is used to apply to colleges, the PSAT/NMSQT is generally taken by students in preparation for the SAT I.  \nThe first part of this report concerns only score changes between consecutive testings of the SAT I. In the second half, average scores between PSAT/NMSQT and SAT I will be described.1  \nSAT I SCORE CHANGES Using the Tables  \nThe tables that correspond to the first part of this report provide information regarding the proportion of students attaining a range of scores on the initial testing of the SAT I and their scores on each subsequent test taken (up to five times) . The data in these analyses:  \n• Include 1,120,5632 students from the 1997 college-bound seniors who took the SAT I between the period of October 1995 to June 1996, considered the junior year for the cohort, and the period between October 1996 to June 1997, considered the senior year.  \n• Indicate that students with lower initial scores tend either to take the SAT I only once or more than three times. Mean scores for each subsequent testing show an increase of 7 to 13 points on the verbal scale and 8 to 16 points on the math scale. Overall, score gains between the earlier testings (e.g. , between the first and second testings) are higher than changes between the later testings (e.g. , between the fourth and fifth testings) in math.  \n• Reveal that students completing the SAT I in the fall of the junior and senior year typically have larger score gains than students completing the test in the fall and spring of the junior year. This effect may be explained partially because the longer interval between testing may result in increased experience  \nResearch Notes  \nand completion of more rigorous academic courses in high school. Also, the change in scores between the fall and spring testing for juniors tends to be larger than the change in scores between the junior spring and senior fall testings.  \nWho Takes the SAT I, and When?  \nTable 1 summarizes the numbers and percentages, for the total group and by gender, of college-bound seniors in 1997 who","cbCaiiuOhBMK85Tx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiuOhBMK85Tx","pdf",98213,12,"English","# Score Change When Retaking the SAT I: Reasoning Test\n## SAT I Score Changes Using the Tables\n## Who Takes the SAT I, and When?","[{\"question\":\"Which factors influence SAT I score changes for students who retake the test?\",\"answer\":\"The report highlights semester (fall or spring) and year (junior or senior) of the initial test, the initial SAT I score, and the time interval between testings.\"},{\"question\":\"What score changes are reported for verbal and math between consecutive SAT I retakes?\",\"answer\":\"Mean gains are reported as an increase of about 7 to 13 points on the verbal scale and 8 to 16 points on the math scale across subsequent tests, with larger gains earlier than later in the sequence.\"},{\"question\":\"How common is it for students to retake the SAT I, and what patterns are noted?\",\"answer\":\"The majority take the SAT I once (51 percent).
