The SCAT is a test administered by the Johns Hopkins Center in order to determine qualification for its CTY Programs. Students in 6th-8th grade take the Advanced SCAT. The test-taker’s results are then compared to average 9th to 12th grade level scores.
High SCAT scores at the advanced level can be used to apply to John Hopkins’ Talented Youth Programs after completion of 7th grade, since it is not necessary to take the same SCAT exam every year.
Scoring well on the Advanced SCAT can mean not only admission to John Hopkins Center for Talented Youth Programs, but also solid proof of your child’s academic strengths and abilities. Concrete evidence such as this can help pave the way to a successful high school and even college experience.

Whatever the results on the test end up being, the score reports you receive after your child takes the SCAT can give you a far better understanding of where his or her academic strengths and weaknesses lie.
The Advanced SCAT is a computerized test that consists of 55 multiple-choice questions on a 9th-12th grade level. The students receive 22 minutes for each portion of the test, with a 10-minute break in between.
There are two sections on the test, including quantitative and verbal. The verbal section is based on verbal analogies, while the quantitative section is based on mathematical comparisons.

Which column is bigger?

Correct!
The correct answer is (D).
To solve this question we need to know the range and the median of the set of data. A range of a set is the difference between the highest value and the lowest value. The median is the number that is halfway into the set. In column A, if m < 75, find the range. If m = 70, then the lowest number in the set is 60, the highest number in the set is 100 and the range is 100 – 60 = 40. If m = 0, then the lowest number in the set is 0, the highest is 100 and the range is 100 – 0 = 100. In column B, if m = 60, there is no need to calculate the median because we know that the median is somewhere between 60 and 100 (the lowest and the highest values). Thus, if m = 70 in column A, then column B is larger than column A. But if m = 0 in column A, then column A is larger than column B. Therefore, there is not enough information and the correct answer is D.
