A questionnaire was developed and administered to about 450 12th grade students as a means of evaluating the booklet, Your College Board Scores: Scholastic Aptitude Test, Achievement Tests. In general, the booklet was found to communicate effectively. Exceptions to this general statement were difficulties in locating appropriate tables and a superficial understanding of the meaning of test scores and percentiles. Comprehension of the booklet was moderately related to scholastic aptitude scores.
