They work together to show college readiness over time so educators, students, and parents can monitor student progress. Their content reflects the kinds of meaningful, engaging, and challenging work that students find in the best middle school and high school courses taught today.  \nThe SAT, the last test in the suite, is a globally recognized college admission test that’s accepted at all U.S. colleges.  \nWhat the SAT Measures  \nThe SAT measures the skills and knowledge that research shows are the most important for success in college and career. It includes the following sections.  \nEVIDENCE-BASED READING AND WRITING  \nThis section is made up of a Reading Test and a Writing and Language Test, each composed of multiparagraph passagesand multiple-choice questions.  \nThe Reading Test measures comprehension and reasoning skills and focuses on close reading of passages in a wide array of subject areas. The Writing and Language Test measures a range of skills including command of evidence, expression of ideas, and the use of standard English conventions in grammar and punctuation.  \nMATH  \nThis section includes multiple-choice and studentproduced response questions. It assesses skills in algebra, problem solving and data analysis, manipulation of complex equations, geometry, and trigonometry.  \nESSAY (OPTIONAL)  \nThe SAT Essay asks students to read a high-quality sourcetext and write an effective analysis of that text using evidence drawn from the source. It measures a range of skills in reading, analysis, and writing.  \nHow the SAT Is Scored  \nStudents receive a total score that is the sum of their scoreson the two sections (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math). The optional SAT Essay is scored separately.  \nTo calculate section scores, we first compute the student’s raw score—the number of questions correctly answered—for each section. Nothing is deducted for incorrect answers or for unanswered questions.  \nNext, we convert each of the raw section scores to a scaled score of 200 to 800. This conversion process adjusts for slight differences in difficulty among versions of the test and provides a score that is consistent across different versions. The scaled scores are the scores provided on score reports.  \nHow You Can Use the Student Score Report  \nThe student score report clearly summarizes a student’s current achievement levels and encourages next steps to increase college and career readiness. You can help students by going over their score reports and helping them understand what their scores mean. Here’s how.  \nTALK ABOUT COLLEGE READINESS  \nWITH STUDENTS  \nFor each section, the score r","cbCaikxW6hUKXDPc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikxW6hUKXDPc","pdf",803444,"English","# What the SAT Measures\n## Evidence-Based Reading and Writing\n## Math\n## Essay (Optional)\n# How the SAT Is Scored\n# How You Can Use the Student Score Report\n## Talk About College Readiness with Students\n## Use Student Scores to Identify Strengths and Weaknesses\n## Help Students Decide on Next Steps\n# How You Can Use the K‑12 Score Reporting Portal","[{\"question\":\"What sections does the SAT include and what do they assess?\",\"answer\":\"The SAT includes Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math, and an optional Essay.
