Statistical Linking of National Results from NAEP and SAT

NAEP 12th Grade Preparedness Research: Establishing a Statistical Relationship between NAEP and SAT®

ETS, 2012, GRADE 12

Summary of the data and procedures used to establish and evaluate statistical relationships between the NAEP 12th grade reading and mathematics assessments and the critical reading and mathematics scales of the SAT, along with a summary of results.

This document describes the data and procedures used to establish and evaluate statistical relationships between the NAEP 12th grade reading and mathematics assessments and the critical reading and mathematics scales of the SAT. Results of the analyses are also presented. Design and analysis decisions were made with input from a group of technical advisors assembled by the Governing Board. Among the technical advisors were experts in psychometrics and test linking, large-scale assessment, educational policy, and industrial-organizational psychology. This study used data from students who were sampled and assessed in NAEP 12th grade reading or mathematics in 2009 and had also taken the SAT by June 2009.
