| Calculator Use and the SAT
| ||
|
06/01/2002 Calculators were first used on the SAT with the introduction of the SAT I: Reasoning Test at the March 1994 administration. Calculator use on tests has been supported by research studies considering its effects on test performance. Missing form these studies is a clear association of test performance and actual use of calculators. This omission was addressed at the November administration of the SAT in both 1996 and 1997 when questions addressing calculator use were included on the answer sheet, permitting scores and item responses to be matched to reports of calculator use on the test. This study uses those data in a series of analyses to examine the relationship of student performance with calculator use. |
