This document summarizes findings from recent studies that inform these conversationsand can guide campus use of SAT scores to promote student success.  \nIntroduction  \nSAT scores are intended to be useful for much more than college admission decisions (College Board, 2017) . The SAT was redesigned in 2016 to better reflect the work that students do in high school, focusing on the core knowledge and skills that research has shown to be critical for students to be ready for college and career.  \nSAT scores provide insight about students’ academic success in several areas by:  \n• Predicting student retention rates ;  \n• Identifying students who may benefit from academic support services ;  \n• Placing students who may excel or need enrichment in particular academic domains , including math, English, history/social studies, and science ;  \n• Identifying students for honors programs or academic scholarships; and  \n• Predicting and supporting student success within academic majors (Marini et al. , 2019; Westrick et al. , 2019, 2020, 2021) .  \nResearch on a robust national data set shows that SAT scores have significant value in providing insight and actionable information to improve students’ academic success.  \nSpecifically:  \n• SAT scores show a positive relationship with retention to the second year of college atthe same institution.  \n• Even among students with high HSGPAs, we see substantial differences in student  \n.  \nretention rates that are revealed by SAT scores.  \n• The combination of HSGPA and SAT scores provides a more complete and accurate understanding of student academic performance and retention in college compared to either metric used in isolation.  \n• Students who underperform in college—compared to their predicted performance based on HSGPA and SAT—are at greater risk for departure from college compared to students who perform as expected. Using this information in targeted interventions can improve retention rates.  \n• The strategic use of HSGPA and SAT scores provides colleges and universities with an opportunity to target students at risk for departure with pivotal academic resources and assistance, and boost institutional completion rates.  \n• SAT Math and SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing ( ERW) scores are effective tools to help place students in first-year college courses within similar academic domains.  \n• SAT scores provide critical information above HSGPA to understand top student  \nperformance in college, which greatly informs scholarship decisions and honors program decisions.  \n• The joint use of the SAT and HSGPA is always better than using the SAT or HSGPA alone to predict cumulative GPA, across the different academic majors studied. Accurately understanding how students may be expected to perform in a major not only helps an institution to appropriately plan for departmental resources , but also to target academic support and additional instruction most effectively to students who need it most.  \n• SAT scores can be used to increase the diversity of the student body in STEM fields by helping institutions to confidently admit the students they are most interested in to shape a class in keeping with their mission and goals, while remaining fully aware of which students may benefit from additional instructional support in the major to maximize their success in college and beyond.  \nIdentifying Students at Risk for Not Returning  \nCombining HSGPA and SAT information reveals critical insights about student  \nretention in college that are not evident when using either measure alone.
