Here's how the latest round of high school seniors scored, from U.S. News & World Report. Each portion of the test is out of a possible 800 points:
- Reading - 497
- Math - 513
- Writing - 487
Combined, the average score was 1497 out of 2400. Looking at just the possible points on the reading and math portions - which the test will revert to in 2016, after including the writing portion for about a decade - students on average scored 1010 out of 1600.
According to Inside Higher Ed, these scores are in keeping with trends for recent tests - "The average score in critical reading increased one point, while average scores in math and writing fell by one point. Scores have been either flat or slowly declining for the past several years, dropping 11 points in reading and seven points in math in the past decade."
