La prueba AA Digital SAT 4 - BlueBook App Test es similar al SAT tradicional en cuanto al contenido del examen. Sin embargo, existen algunas diferencias importantes en el formato del examen.
Dentro del marco del Sistema de Evaluación Digital del SAT (Servicio de Administración Tributaria), el término "AA" corresponde a Administración Adaptativa, cuya traducción al español es Administración adaptativa. Este enfoque de administración adaptativa constituye una característica fundamental del SAT digital, permitiendo que la prueba se ajuste a las habilidades específicas de cada estudiante.
En contraste con el SAT tradicional, donde todos los estudiantes se someten al mismo examen, independientemente de sus capacidades, el SAT digital con administración adaptativa inicia con un conjunto de preguntas de dificultad básica.
En caso de que el estudiante responda correctamente a estas preguntas iniciales, se le presentarán preguntas más desafiantes. Por el contrario, si las respuestas son incorrectas, se le ofrecerán preguntas de menor dificultad.
El propósito subyacente de esta adaptación es proporcionar a cada estudiante una evaluación lo suficientemente desafiante para medir sus habilidades, pero no tan difícil como para resultar imposible de completar.

Juvenile Plants Found Growing on Bare Ground and in Patches of Vegetation for Five Species
Alicia Montesinos-Navarro, Isabelle Storer, and Rocio Perez-Barrales recently examined several plots within a diverse plant community in southeast Spain. The researchers calculated that if individual plants were randomly distributed on this particular landscape. only about 15% would be with other plants in patches of vegetation. They counted the number of juvenile plants of five species growing in patches of vegetation and the number growing alone on bare ground and compared those numbers to what would be expected if the plants were randomly distributed.

The best among them, those who consecrate Nature with their sacred desire for the future, will lose, in a sordid and painful annihilation, all stimulus to alleviate the ugliness of humanity."
D) “Listen to the song of this hardworking and satisfied nation; listen to Walt Whitman. The exercise of himself exalts him to majesty, tolerance exalts him to justice, and order to joy."

Text 1
Most animals can regenerate some parts of their bodies, such as skin. But when a three-banded panther worm is cut into three pieces, each piece grows Into a new worm. Researchers are investigating this feat partly to learn more about humans' comparatively limited abilities to regenerate, and they're making exciting progress. An especially promising discovery is that both humans and panther worms have a gene for early growth response (EGR) linked to regeneration. Text 2
When Mansi Srivastava and her team reported that panther worms, like humans, possess a gene for EGR, it caused excitement. However, as the team pointed out, the gene likely functions very differently in humans than it does in panther worms. Srivastava has likened EGR to a switch that activates other genes Involved in regeneration in panther worms, but how this switch operates in humans remains unclear. Question 9: Based on the texts, what would the author of Text 2 most likely say about Text 1's characterization of the discovery involving EGR?
A) It is reasonable given that Srivastava and her team have identified how EGR functions in both humans and panther worms.
B) It is overly optimistic given additional observations from Srivastava and her team.
C) It is unexpected given that Srivastava and her team's findings were generally met with enthusiasm.
D) It is unfairly dismissive given the progress that Srivastava and her team have reported.
Credited Film Output of James Young Deer, Dark Cloud, Edwin Carewe, and Lillian St. Cyr
Some researchers studying Indigenous actors and filmmakers in the United States have turned their attention to the early days of cinema, particularly the 1910s and 1920s, When people like James Young Deer, Dark Cloud, Edwin Carewe, and Lillian St. Cyr (known professionally as Red Wing) were involved in one way or another with numerous films.

Mosasaurs were large marine reptiles that lived in the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 100 million to 66 million years ago. Celina Suarez, Alberto Pérez-Huerta, and T. Lynn Harrell Jr. examined oxygen-18 isotopes in mosasaur tooth enamel in order to calculate likely mosasaur body temperatures and determined that mosasaurs were endothermic-that is, they used internal metabolic processes to maintain a stable body temperature in a variety of ambient temperatures. Suarez, Pérez-Huerta, and Harrell claim that endothermy would have enabled mosasaurs to Include relatively cold polar waters in their range. Question 11: Which finding, if true, would most directly support Suarez, Pérez-Huerta, and Harrell's claim?
A) Mosasaurs' likely body temperatures are easier to determine from tooth enamel oxygen-18 isotope data than the body temperatures of nonendothermic Late Cretaceous marine reptiles are.
B) Fossils of both mosasaurs and nonendothermic marine reptiles have been Found in roughly equal numbers in regions known to be near the poles during the Late Cretaceous, though in lower concentrations than elsewhere.
C) Several mosasaur fossils have been found in regions known to be near the poles during the Late Cretaceous, while relatively few fossils of nonendothermic marine reptiles have been found in those locations.
D) During the Late Cretaceous, seawater temperatures were likely higher throughout mosasaurs range, including near the poles, than seawater temperatures at those same latitudes are today.

D) The average number of department leaders reporting directly to their CEO rose over the three periods studied.
Given that stars and planets initially form from the same gas and dust in space, some astronomers have posited that host stars (such as the Sun) and their planets (such as those in our solar system) are composed of the same materials, with the planets containing equal or smaller quantities of the materials that make up the host star. This idea is also supported by evidence that rocky planets in our solar system are composed of some of the same materials as the Sun. Question 13: Which finding, if true, would most directly weaken the astronomers' claim?
A) Most stars are made of hydrogen and helium, but when cooled they are revealed to contain small amounts of iron and silicate.
B) A nearby host star is observed to contain the same proportion of hydrogen and helium as that of the Sun.
C) Evidence emerges that the amount of iron in some rocky planets is considerably higher than the amount in their host star.
D) The method for determining the composition of rocky planets is discovered to be less effective when used to analyze other kinds of planets.
While attending school in New York City in the 1980s, Okwui Enwezor encountered few works by African artists in exhibitions, despite New York's reputation as one of the best places to view contemporary art from around the world.
