| For what it is worth, the students reporting their schools from the inschool dSAT seem uniformly lower than their scores from the paper tests offered August-December 2023. |

Where are you seeing this? I'm interested in understanding the rollout of the dSAT and: 1) the "reliability" or "consistency" of the dSAT, (i.e., do kids get similar scores when they take two or more in close proximity to one another); and 2) the "validity" or accuracy, which is best assessed at this point by how digital scores are comparing with scores from the paper version. |

My kid's verbal went from a 680 on a practice test to a 750 on the March test, which frankly doesn't make sense to me. The 680 was consistent with his PSAT scores.
Plus, he got only black bars on all four sections in "Knowledge and Skills" section which suggests he should have gotten an 800. I'm wondering if there was some glitch with the scoring. |

My kids both did better, but not as well as the prep they did with the Bluebook tests. The Math section was pretty ridiculous. Getting extra challenging questions at the end means less time to get them right. |

Probably not. The full bar isn't 800. For example, the breakdown for Information and Ideas has 7 blocks. There are 12-14 questions. Maybe my kid got them all right or maybe they got 1 wrong. Either way, the bar will be full b/c they don't fill in partial bars. |

| Ah that makes sense |

| It seems like the verbal has gotten easier and the math much harder. |
