What is the SAT?
The SAT exam is a college entrance examination used by colleges in the US to assess a student's aptitude before entering university. It is considered the assessment of record for admissions offices in the US and worldwide, and is taken by millions of students each and every year. The SAT is administered by the College Board in the United States and is developed, published, and scored by the Educational Testing Service (ETS).

Understanding SAT Test Score
Raw Score (Multiple Choice Only): You begin with 0 points. For every question you answer correctly, you earn 1 point. For every question you answer incorrectly, you lose one-fourth of 1 point. For every question you omit, you earn 0 points.
Raw Score (Fill-in-the-Blank): You begin with 0 points. For every question you answer correctly, you earn 1 point. Otherwise, an incorrect or omitted answer is worth 0 points.
Essay Scoring: Essays are scored on a scale of 1-6, 6 being the highest. Two graders score the essay, and the combined score is used to determine the overall 2-12 score on the essay
Scaled SAT Score: For each major section of the SAT, your raw score is converted into a scaled (200-800) score using a skewed normal curve. A higher raw score corresponds to a higher scaled score.
SAT Question Types
Multiple Choice: A question and five responses are presented. You must choose the correct response or omit the question. Guessing penalty applied.
Fill-in-the-Blank: A question is presented in the mathematics section. You must bubble in the correct numerical response.

Need help and encouragement for homeschooling your high schooler?
Our newest ebook, Homeschooling the High Schooler: From Transcripts to Graduation, is hot off the press! In this ebook, we've enlisted homeschool parents, homeschooled high school students themselves, and experts to share some tips with you.
Our authors share not only the "how-tos" of transcripts, math, science, and language arts but also why they chose to homeschool through high school, some of the opportunities they took advantage of along the way, and the blessings they've reaped from keeping their teens at home for high school.
I just finished reading my copy of Home Schooling the High Schooler and feeling more confident about the exciting adventure my ds and I are embarking on next year. This e-book is such an encouragement. It has articles from many respected homeschool authors, homeschool graduates and in the trenches home schooling parents. It's more than a "how to" but encourages the home schooling parent to enjoy the high school years and use them for God's glory.
There are plenty of suggestions to help you and your student focus on God's call for your child's life and how to find the right "courses" to prepare them for their future. I had not thought of things like contacting colleges to find out their entrance requirements and building that into my child's education to prepare them. It discusses apprenticeships, volunteerism, and students who even start their own businesses.
Much of my copy of this book is highlighted. I know it's an e-book but I know I will be returning to it again and again for the resources and encouragement it contains. Part One is entitled You Can Homeschool Through The High School Years and Part II is Options and Resources
Home Schooling the High Schooler suggests giving my child a bigger part in his education. That has always been my goal. God used this e-book to confirm my thoughts. I want my ds to read it when I am finished so that we will both be encouraged, inspired and ready to tackle high school.
