Students will receive standard SAT scores as well as proficiency levels specific to Indiana. The cut scores for these proficiency levels will be determined by Indiana educators following the first test administration.
Students may elect to send their SAT score reports to up to four colleges/universities at no charge.
This will be a digital version of both the English and Math sections. There will be no essay. The majority of the test will be multiple choice with some numeric fill-in as well.
