SAT

1 Reading and Writing section administered via two separately timed modules.

The first module is a "baseline module".

Performance on the baseline module determines whether students progress to an "easier" or "harder" second module.

1 Math section administered via two separately timed modules.

If 0-14 questions are answered correctly in the 1st module (baseline module), then students progress to the "Easier Adaptive Math Module".

If 15-20 questions are answered correctly in the baseline module, then students progress to the "Harder Adaptive Math Module".

1st Module: 25 operational questions (scored) and 2 experimental questions (non-scored)

2nd Module: 25 operational questions (scored) and 2 experimental questions (non-scored)

1st Module: 20 operational questions (scored) and 2 experimental questions (non-scored)

2nd Module: 20 operational questions (scored) and 2 experimental questions (non-scored)

Grid-in (~25%) questions called "Student Produced Responses"

Content:

-Algebra 1 and 2 (~35%)

-Advanced Math (~35%)

-Problem-Solving & Data Analysis (~15%)

-Geometry and Trigonometry (~15%)

-Statistics, Probability

-Emphasis on word problems and questions in real-world context

Each section is divided into 2 equal-length, separately timed "adaptive" modules.

The first module will present easy, medium, and hard items.

A student's performance will then guide the 2nd module, which will employ AI to deliver easy, medium, and/or hard items.

Items will be multiple-choice with 4 answer choices.

Items will be multiple-choice with 5 answer choices for math and 4 answer choices for other sections.

400 to 1600 (sum of both sections)

Reading Score Range:
200-800

Math Score Range:
200-800

The difficulty level of Module 2 for each section -- and the highest potential score -- will be determined by student performance on Module 1 of each section.

1-36 (average of the 4 multiple-choice sections)

Section Scores:
1) English: 1-36
2) Math: 1-36
3) Reading: 1-36
4) Science: 1-36
5) Essay: 2-12

Notably the national average is 19.5 (a 30-year low).

The task requires students to read a background paragraph on an issue that doesn't particularly require any background knowledge and typically appeals to everyday experiences for a typical high school student. Students analyze and evaluate 3 given perspectives (stances) and then choose one to develop. A non-chosen perspective (stance) serves as fuel for a counterargument. The expectation is a well developed, 5-paragraph persuasive essay.
