Gather together all the test results from your SAT9. There are different ways to collate your test results and it is best to use a variety of them, so make copies of the results. Different categories for dividing the test results include:
Age/school grade
Gender
Class (or by subject tutor)
Neighborhood
Race/ethnicity/known religion
These different categories are for the purposes of studying whether one group or another is doing better than the average. Dividing by age or grade is the most useful because it compares students doing the same test level. Each category can be divided into other categories such as boys doing level seven or girls in Mr. Smith's math class.
Average the overall results or the results in any one category and/or sub-category. Compare these to the national average. Compare these to the averages of previous years if such data exists at your school.
Examine the total results for any trends. Are boys underperforming compared to girls? Are the students of any one teacher underperforming? Are groups doing better than average?
Take a more detailed approach that moves beyond averages and totals. Break the test down for any one student or group of students into the following:
Language
Listening
Math
Reading
Science
Social science
Spelling
Study skills
Use the data from these to assess the teaching methods of the school. If certain students are underperforming against the average find out why. These kinds of tests help to monitor year-to-year student and faculty performances. Furthermore, if for example certain math questions like algebra are causing difficulties, then math teachers will know their students' weak spot and be able to help them improve.
Compare the data to other testing methods and student/teacher assessments. Tests can produce anomalies for a wide range of reasons. However, if they follow a broad trend they can help demonstrate where things are going right or wrong in a school, or with the student.
