Wanted: Adults for SWAP day

Thursday, Oct. 25, is SWAP day at Wawasee high school. Students who are able to get an adult to take their place at school will be excused from school for the day. In this way it is hoped that the community will take the chance to see Wawasee in operation, and enable them to better understand the educational opportunities available to the students. SWAP day has been quite successful in the past and school officials would like to see an increase in the number of adults attending this year. Adults attending SWAP day will participate in class activities similar to the ones the students

The student is responsible for seeing that the adult has the SWAP Packet of materials which include: class schedule and locker number and combination, a map of the school, and the intent to attend form, as well as the necessary books and writing items. The adult can attend a full or half day of school. If the adult attends only a half day of school, the student must be in attendance the other half day.

SAE members will be on hand to act as guides through the first two periods of the day and will be assisted by members of the Y-Teens. Service clubs and area organizations are urged to attend. Any adult who wished to attend but who knows no student should call the high school and leave his name. The adult will be assigned to a student who doesn’t have a swap.

1,400,000 students to take SAT

During this school year, the college board expects over 1,400,000 students from all over the world to register for the admissions testing program (ATP) which students call the “college boards”. In addition to the scholastic aptitude test (SAT), the program subject-matter achievement tests and the recently introduced student descriptive questionnaire (SDQ). The first nationally administered SAT will be given on November 3. The board estimates that over 550,000 juniors, 750,000 seniors, and smaller numbers of sophomores and transferring college students will take the SAT this year. These students will also be taking achievement tests in 14 subjects in numbers ranging from a few hundred for the Russian test to almost 300,000 for the English composition test. Students planning on taking the “college boards” should know about this year’s changes, some of which are described below. Details on these and other program procedures are contained in the 1973-74 ATP Student Bulletin, which was sent in quantity to high schools in July and August. Changes Announced The test-date schedule has been revised to reflect students’ tendency to take the SAT and achievement tests on separate days. Now there is a “morning only” administration on every test date except the One in December. Students may now indicate three test centers that are convenient for them. Those who register too late to be assigned to their first-choice center will be assigned to one of their two alternates if they are not also full. The student descriptive questionnaire has been shortened — questions that many students preferred not to answer or found difficult to interpret have been removed. The questionnaire is a recent addition to the “college boards” that is used at some colleges as a sort of preliminary application blank. Students can use it to provide colleges with information, in addition to test scores, about their high school grades, plans, background, activities and skills. The questionnaire is not a test — the only “correct” answers are those that reflect individual hopes, experiences and interests. The board now communicates more directly with students is an effort to lighten the administrative duties of counselors. Material describing the SAT and explaining how to take it, which was previously printed in the Student Bulletin, is now printed separately in a booklet mailed directly to students at home with their ticket of admission to an ATP test center. Students also fill out the questionnaire when they register rather than at the test center, thereby keeping test center operations as simple and short as possible. And the college board

mails their ATP reports at home along with an interpretative leaflet and a form for ordering more reports. Information About Scores Repeating the SAT. Many students who have taken the SAT as juniors repeat the test as seniors. In recent years, however, increasing numbers of students have been resting on the junior year scores that tend to be, on the average, about 15 points lower. Apparently fewer students now feel pressed to try to boost their scores or more of them realize that the expected gain is small on the college board’s 200 to 800 score scale. What’s average? One common misconception is that a score of 500 is “average”. College board research indicates that the average SAT-Verbal score for all students is about 390. Even the SAT-Verbal average of the college-bound students who take the test is only about 450, and only about a third of those students score as high as 500 on the verbal part. Scores on the mathematical half of the SAT run somewhat higher. Does coaching or drilling help? Being coached or drilled for the SAT may make students feel better prepared, but college board research indicates that such efforts late in the high school years do not help increase scores. The board emphasizes that students who are not coached for the SAT are not at a disadvantage. Wawasee high school students wishing more information on such tests are encouraged to see their guidance directors.
