Anyone still waiting for 3/4 SAT day scores??

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

Ah that makes sense

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.

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.

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.

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.
