In 2005, the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) was commissioned
to evaluate the potential value of using an aptitude test (the SAT Reasoning TestTM) as
an additional tool in the selection of candidates for admission to higher education (HE).
This five-year study was co-funded by the Department for Business, Innovation, and
Skills (BIS), the NFER, the Sutton Trust and the College Board. This report presents
findings from the final phase of the project, relating the prior attainment and SAT®
scores of participating students who graduated in 2006 to their degree outcomes. It also
summarises findings from the study as a whole, and cross references where
appropriate to the various interim reports
