One of the most popular posts ever written for this blog was the one in which I wrote about其中最热门职位，在写这个博客是一个在我写 the finer details within the 精细内 2006 Senior SAT College Board data . 2006年高级坐在美国大学理事会的数据 。 In a way, I am very much a beneficiary of the same standardized-testing and college admissions stresses which I rail against.在某种程度上，我感到十分的受益者，同时规范检验和高校招生讲，我对铁路。 However, that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try to provide clear and accessible information about the 2007 Senior SAT data –information which will help de-stress applicants, hopefully, and also raise awareness of some of the ways in which the SAT is biased and why we should think twice before judging people on their SAT scores.但是，这并不意味着我不应该尝试，以提供清晰和容易获得的信息关于2007高级坐在数据信息，这将有助于解除压力的申请人，希望，也提高人们的一些方法，其中SAT是偏颇的，以及为什么我们应该三思而后行的人看，对他们的SAT成绩。

I’m going to break it up into a few posts, starting with this one about some general data for the SAT I: Reasoning, with another on percentiles and more detailed demographics, and one more about the SAT II subject tests.我要打破它分散成数个职位，开始与这一个约一些一般性的数据，为坐在一：推理，与另一对百分和更详细的人口统计资料，其中一个更了解坐在第二学科测试。

There’sa lot of information in the total national report to cover, so I’ll start with the big picture and hit the most important tables.有很多这方面的资料，在占全国报告的范围，因此，我将开始与全局的大事，击中最重要的图表。 If you’re interested in the whole report, it’s worth如果您有兴趣，在整份报告，它的价值 checking out 检查出 . 。 I aim to give a narrative overview of what is going on in all the most important tables of that 18 page document, so if you don’t want to stare at numbers but want to know what’s going on… keep reading.我将争取给予一个叙事的概况怎么回事，在所有最重要的表，即18页的文件，因此，如果你不想在盯着电话号码，但想知道是怎么回事…保持读。 Numbers given are in Critical Reading / Mathematics / Writing , or complete SAT I reasoning composite score out of 2400 maximum.号码的是，在关键的阅读/数学/写作，或完全坐在i推理综合评分列2400最高。

The College Board says this data can be used to大学理事会说，这个数据可以用来

• interpret scores of individual students within the broader context of data aggregated across groups of collegebound seniors;解读分数个别学生在更广泛的数据汇总，全国群体collegebound前辈;
• study changes over time in the characteristics of students taking SAT tests; and研究随时间发生的变化的特点，学生坐在考验;
• look at year-to-year educational and demographic changes in this population, along with changes in test performance.看看一年到一年的教育和人口结构的变化，在这个人口，随着变化，在测试性能。

So let’s do the last two, and individual readers can do the first with their own scores or whoever’s scores they happen to have handy, if they want.让我们一起做了近两年，个别读者可以做第一次用自己的分数或谁的分数，他们正好都得心应手，如果他们所想的。

First things first–第一件事，第一 scores dropped for the second year in a row分数下降，为连续第二年 . 。 These scores are “within the expected range” over the long term, but this continues the trend seen with the introduction of the “new” SAT last year.这些成绩是在"预期射程" ，就长期而言，但这种情况持续下去的趋势，可见在引进的"新"坐在最后一年。 What does it mean?什么意思呢？ Nothing that should matter on an individual level–the test, in its new longer and more expensive format, is unlikely to change again any time too soon.没什么事，应该是个人级测试，在其新的更长和更昂贵的格式，是不太可能再次发生变化，随时得太早。

Of the 1,494,531 people who took the SAT, with an average composite score of 1511 (502 Critical Reading, 515 Mathematics, and 494 Writing), 53% were female and 46% were male; this mirrors results from last year.的1494531人参加SAT考试，平均综合得分1511 （ 502批评性阅读，数学515 ，和494至截稿时止） ， 53 ％为女性和46 ％为男性，这镜子的结果，从去年。 The score comparison is, for CR / M / W, Male v. Female, 1526 (504 / 533 / 489) v. 1501 (502 / 499 / 500): a total score difference of just 25 points, in favor of guys.评分对比的是，铬/男/女，男五女， 第1526 （ 504 / 533 / 489 ）五， 1501年 （ 502 / 499 / 500 ） ：总成绩相差仅25点，有利于家伙。 Last year, the difference was… 26 points.去年，差异… 26分。 You see where this trend is going?你看到这种趋势将走向何方？ Females were helped, once again, by the 11 point writing section advantage in the new SAT, which held steady from last year.女性的帮助，再一次由11个点写作部分的优势，在新的周六，日举行，其中稳定从去年。

Here’s some correlational information which I find especially interesting: breakdowns of who took the test when.这里的一些相关资料，我觉得特别有意思：划分的人参加考试，是什么时候。 The College Board tracks people over their high school years and indicates if they most recently took the test in Senior, Junior, Sophomore, or Freshman year.大学理事会铁轨人民对其高中多年，并表示如果他们最近参加考试，在高中，初中，大二，大一或一年。 Of the graduating class of 2007, 1,001,667 took the test their senior year (either only, or most recently, as an additional sitting).对毕业班的2007年， 1001667地参加考试，其高层今年（要么只是，或最近期，作为额外坐） 。 485,401 took it their junior year, and from there it trickles down with 6339 / 1124 for 10th and 9th grade, respectively. 485401又把它自己的初中一年，并从那里trickles打倒6339 / 1124第10位和第9级，分别为。 Now, the scores from these sittings?现在，分数从这些开庭？ Freshman fare worst overall, and they don’t have writing scores to compare since it wasn’t around for them, but still manage a 1 pt increase over seniors in mathematics.大一票价最坏总体而言，他们还没有写作分数比较，因为它不是靠近他们，但仍负责管理工作1分增加超过前辈在数学。 People who only take the test their senior year are the next worse, with 493 / 505 / 486 for a composite score of 1484 .人，只参加过考试的高级职员，今年是下一个更糟的是，有493 / 505 / 486 ，为一个综合分数的第1484 。 Followed by, shocker here, juniors!其次， shocker在这里，青少年！ Who go 522 / 534 / 511 for a total composite of 1567 . The best scoring group are those who take the test only in their sophomore year , and their mean score is 1603 (526 / 549 / 528).谁去522 / 534 / 511 ，为共复合的1567 。 最佳得分集团，是那些参加过考试的，只有在自己的二年级 ，他们的平均得分是1603 （ 526 / 549 / 528 ） 。

Lastly for today, a few Fun Facts, a preview of the percentiles and demographics data to come in the next post in this series:最后，为今天，有几个有趣的事实，是一个预演的百分位数和人口统计数据，以在未来邮政在这系列：

• Of the 9% of test takers for whom English is not their first language learned (reporting), there was a 7 point mean increase on the math section, while there was a 32 point decline in the critical reading and 24 point decline on average in the writing section.的9 ％的考生参加考试的人英语是不是他们的第一语言教训（报告） ，有一个7点意味着增加对数学节，而有一个32个点的跌幅，在关键的阅读和24点，跌幅平均在写作部份。
• 22% of test-takers say they don’t plan to apply for financial aid.有22 ％的试验进行交涉说，他们不计划申请财政援助。 (Why not? Lot’s of reasons, but a lot of those numbers probably should be applying, I bet!) （为什么不呢？很多的理由，但很多这些数字大概应运用，我打赌！ ）
• Those students with coursework or experience in Italian did worst on the math section of all languages polled, with a mean score of 509–lower even than the dismal performances of “other languages.”这些学生与课程内容或经验，在意大利做最坏对数学组的所有语文受访者，平均分数为509 ，下甚至超过暗淡表演的"其他语言" 。

Look forward to more to come!期待着更多的到来！ Just didn’t want to overload people with too many numbers and too much text all in one place.只是不想过的人太多，数量太多的文字都在同一个位置。 Enjoy!享受！
