Description: The SATA measures the scholastic competence of persons from the ages of 16 through 70. Subtest raw scores are converted to estimated grade equivalents, standard scores (M = 10, SD = 3), and percentiles. The SATA's aptitude and achievement components can provide an aptitude-achievement discrepancy analysis needed for LD placement. The SATA was normed on 1,005 persons residing in 17 states, and the sample is representative of the nation as a whole with regard to gender, race, ethnicity, urban/rural residence, and geographic region. The SATA is technically sound, with reliabilities generally in the .80s and .90s.
