This assessment serves as a valuable resource for students as it provides a free college entrance exam to every grade 11 student in the state. Providing this resource statewide increases equity of access for students. Illinois is also using this exam for state and federal accountability for both schools and districts in 2017. Because this exam served multiple purposes, student scores have different meanings. ISBE is providing the following FAQ to help explain what student SAT scores mean as a college entrance exam, and what they mean to ISBE, for school and district accountability.  \n1. What are the Illinois SAT performance levels?  \nA set of four performance levels with associated cut scores that Illinois educators have determined represent mastery of the Illinois Learning Standards.  \n\n| Performance Levels | ELA Score Ranges * | Math Score Ranges* |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Level 4 – Exceeds Standards | 640-800 | 670-800 |\n| Level 3 – Meets Standards | 540-630 | 540-660 |\n| Level 2 – Approaching Standards | 430-530 | 450-530 |\n| Level 1 – Partially Meets Standards | 200-420 | 200-440 |\n\n*Note: Achievable scores increase in increments of 10 (e.g., 450, 460, 470…) .  \n2. Our students took the SAT in April of 2017 and have received their scores. How are the IL state performance levels different from what students received from College Board?  \nThe IL SAT performance levels do not change the student scores that have been reported in anyway.  \nThe IL SAT performance levels are ranges of scores on the math and evidence-based reading and writing portions of the exam that were recommended by Illinois teachers and adopted by the Illinois State Board of Education to reflect student mastery of the Illinois Learning Standards.  \n3. Are the SAT College and Career Readiness Benchmarks on student’s score reports the same asthe IL SAT Performance Levels?  \nNo. The College Board’s SAT College and Career Readiness Benchmarks were set by the College Board and have a different meaning than the IL SAT performance levels. College Board has three performance levels, Green, Yellow, and Red. Illinois has established four performance levels for students on the SAT: Exceeds Standards, Meets Standards, Approaching Standards, and Partially Meets Standards. These  \nperformance levels represent degrees of mastery of the Illinois Learning Standards.  \n4. Why are the IL SAT performance levels different from College Board’s Benchmarks?  \nThe IL SAT performance levels align to the Illinois Learning Standards, which set rigorous expectations of mastery of the Illinois standards to demonstrate college and career readiness. They were designed to reduce the likelihood that students would need remedial coursework upon entering college. The SAT College and Career Readiness Benchmarks for the current SAT predict a 75% likelihood of achieving a C or higher in related, first-semester, credit-bearing college courses. They have different meanings.  \nThe IL SAT performance levels are intended to tell schools and districts about the student’s mastery of the standards. College Board’s benchmarks are meant to tell college admissions offices how likely a student is to perform in the first semester of college if admitted. They are comparing the same data for different purposes.  \n5. Why didn’t IL just use the SAT College and Career Readiness Benchmarks?  \nIllinois, like all states, is required by federal law to establish performance levels aligned to its state learning standards.  \n6. How will the IL SAT performance levels impact students applying for college?  \nIL SAT performance levels will not be reported to colleges or universities. Illinois uses these results on the Illinois Report Card in aggregate only to help educators and communities understand how well a school or district","cbCaieTfbipsu1ow","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieTfbipsu1ow","pdf",455701,"English","# 1.
