The new #SAT report is out.
- Every gender & race had composite score drops & participation increases
- SAT composite score drops ranged from 10 points for East Asians to 35 for Native Americans, who have retained the lowest average
- The male score advantage fell from 13 to 9
As intended, scores for the reformed verbal/critical reading section show greater resilience than mathematics, unlike with the previous versions of the #SAT.
- Every racial group had a composite SAT score drop, except Native Americans (up 9 points) & those who did not respond on race
- Every racial group had a participation increase
- Men & women both increased participation 15% & lowered scores 11 points
The reformed verbal/critical reading section is maintaining its scores as well as the math section, so far, unlike previous versions of the SAT.
- Every racial group had a large participation decline
- Every racial group had a composite SAT score rise, except Hispanics (who are categorized as a separate racial group) & those who did not respond on race
- Natives rose 24 points
- Asians rose 23
Men dropped their #SAT participation 30%; their composite score rose 13 points.
Women dropped their participation 32%; their composite score rose 6 points.
