Can you please tell me where to find a technical manual or test specifications for the SAT 10 grade 2 reading comprehension measure? I am only interested in finding out the average length of the text passages, and I cannot find that information anywhere. Thanks for any help you can provide.

When will the SAT-10 start creating their tests based on the Common Core standards. It seems that the creators of the test are very unfamiliar with them.
