Score Improvement Comparison from PSAT to SAT Between two Schools

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>The score a student earns on the PSAT is a predictor for what they earn on the SAT. Based on a student's PSAT score, we construct a Bayesian model to predict, with 95% certainty, what they will earn on their SAT. Furthermore, we explore differences in this prediction between two high schools in the same district; and ask whether the probability of improvement from the PSAT to the SAT is consistent between these two schools.</p>
