SAT
What is the SAT?
It's a standardized test that students can take before applying to colleges. The exam tests students on math, reading, and writing content by having students analyze and evaluate problems.
A student can score between 400-1600; the higher the score a student achieves, the better their chances are for college admission.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- The SAT is administered throughout the year.
- Many 4-year universities require scores from either the SAT or ACT. In these cases, an official "score report" needs to be sent from the student's College Board account directly to each university.
- The SAT has two math sections, one that allows the use of a calculator and another that does allow the use of a calculator.
