That sounds pretty pathetic doesn’t it — a goal of 60%.
Realize, this year’s Idaho junior class only had 32% meet that benchmark.
Idaho’s higher education task force could set a number of ambitious goals — including a marked improvement in SAT scores.
One of the task force’s work groups wants to see 60 percent of Idaho’s high school juniors meet the SAT’s college- and career-readiness benchmarks by 2022-23.
That’s a big lift. In April, only 32 percent of Idaho high school juniorsmet the SAT benchmarks.
According to the College Board, the nonprofit that administers the SAT, students who score at least a 480 in math and science and 530 in math are likely to earn at least a C in introductory college courses. (Each section of the SAT is graded on a scale ranging from 200 to 800).
BTW, the uptick in the SAT scores in 1995 was due to “recentering”. They lowered the bar, so everyone suddenly did better. Actually, that trend continues down from there.
