What Is Skills Insight

Skills Insight describes the skills and knowledge that students scoring in particular ranges on digital SAT Suite assessments are likely able to demonstrate. Test takers receive Skills Insight information related to their performance levels as part of their online score reports.

Skills Insight Components

Skills Insight consists of two main components:

Skill/Knowledge Statements

These statements describe what students scoring in particular performance score bands on the Reading and Writing and Math sections of the digital SAT Suite tests are typically able to demonstrate.

Exemplar Test Questions

These questions solidify those statements by illustrating the kinds and rigor of test questions that students in various performance score bands are typically able to answer correctly.

Skills Insight Statements

Derived from a careful analysis of student performance on hundreds of actual digital SAT Suite questions, Skills Insight consists of a series of statements identifying what test takers scoring in particular performance score bands (ranges) on the Reading and Writing and Math sections typically know and can do in these subject areas.

How to Use These Statements

Examining the statements associated with a given set of scores and (if applicable) at higher score bands can help students and those working with them better understand test performance and how to improve it.
