SAT

 

The SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test)

is a standardized test for most college

admissions in the United States. 

 

The test is intended to assess a student's

readiness for college. SAT consists of three

major sections: Critical Reading, Mathematics,

and Writing. Each section receives a score on

the scale of 200–800. Total scores are calculated by adding up scores of the three sections. Each major section is divided into three parts.

 

The test contains 3 hours and 45 minutes of actual timed sections; most administrations run for about four and a half hours. The questions range from easy, medium, and hard depending on the scoring from the experimental sections.

 

The College Board states that SAT measures literacy and writing skills that are needed for academic success in college. They state that the SAT assesses how well the test takers analyze and solve problems—skills they learned in school that they will need in college. The SAT is typically taken by high school sophomores, juniors and seniors.
