GET CROSS-TEST SCORESThe SAT also reports two cross-test scores: Analysis in History/Social Studies and Analysis in Science. These scores are based on questions in the Reading, Writing and Language, and Math Tests that ask you to think analytically about texts and questions in these subject areas.

Cross-test scores are reported on a scale of 10–40.

Calculating Your Cross-Test ScoresYou can use the cross-test score tables beginning on the next page to calculate your cross-test scores as follows:

1. Find the questions in each section that count toward each cross-test score. These are shown with a “Y” next to the question number in the tables. Refer to your QAS report to see which of those questions you answered correctly on the test, and then check the box for each correct answer.

2. Count the number of correct answers for each cross-test area and record that as your raw score for that area.

3. Use the conversion table on page 12 to determine your scaled score (10–40) for each area.

Cross-Test Scores Tables – Determine Cross-Test Raw ScoresY = Counts toward Cross-Test score. On your QAS report, look up every question marked “Y” below to see if you answered it correctly. If so, check off the box for that question below.Table 5a and 5b

GET SUBSCORES Subscores provide more detailed information about your strengths in specific areas within literacy and math.

Subscores are reported on a scale of 1–15.

▶ The Command of Evidence subscore is based on questions from both the Reading Test and the Writing and Language Test that ask you to interpret and use evidence found in a wide range of passages and informational graphics, such as graphs, tables, and charts.

▶ The Expression of Ideas subscore is based on questions from the Writing and Language Test that focus on topic development, organization, and rhetorically effective use of language.

▶ The Words in Context subscore is based on questions from both the Reading Test and the Writing and Language Test that address the meaning in context of words/phrases and rhetorical word choice.

▶ The Standard English Conventions subscore is based on questions from the Writing and Language Test that focus on sentence structure, usage, and punctuation.

▶ The Heart of Algebra subscore is based on questions from the Math Test that focus on linear equations and inequalities.

▶ The Problem Solving and Data Analysis subscore is based on questions from the Math Test that focus on quantitative reasoning, the interpretation and synthesis of data, and solving problems in rich and varied contexts.

▶ The Passport to Advanced Math subscore is based on questions from the Math Test that focus on topics central to the ability of students to progress to more advanced mathematics, such as understanding the structure of expressions, reasoning with more complex equations, and interpreting and building functions.

Calculating Your SubscoresYou can use the subscore tables beginning on the next page to calculate your subscores as follows:

1. Find the questions that count toward each subscore. These are shown with a “Y” next to the question number in the tables. Refer to your QAS report to see which of those questions you answered correctly on the test, and then check the box for each correct answer.

2. Count the number of correct answers for each area and record that as your raw score for that area.

3. Finally, use the conversion table on page 13 to determine your scaled score (1–15) for each area.
