What is SAT?

SAT exam’s full form is Scholastic Aptitude Test. It is a standardized assessment test for students applying to colleges and universities. Higher education institutes all around the world now use it along with high-school grades, letters of recommendation, and extracurricular activities to assess the aptitude of applicants.

SAT exams happen 7 times a year in different regions at different intervals. Particular centres in nearly every country get to conduct at least 5 tests in a year. As per the revised SAT exam pattern, it is a three-hour-long test that comprises two sections (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing [EBRW] and Mathematics).

How the SAT Is Organized?

 The SAT measures the knowledge and skills you have developed in reading, writing and language, and math. This test is not about memorizing words and facts you will never use again. Instead, it focuses on what you have already learned in school and what you will need to succeed in college and career. It measures your reasoning and critical thinking skills, which will be important to you through college and beyond.

Connect to Opportunities in Higher Education

Each year millions of students take the SAT, and thousands of high school counselors and postsecondary admission officers worldwide use their scores to guide decisions in the college application process. The test that you’ll take on test day is a challenging and fair assessment of what you know and can do. The questions you’ll tackle focus on the knowledge and skills that the best available evidence indicates are essential for college and career readiness and success. We’re committed to providing opportunities to help you reach your goals for college and career. Students who are the first in their families to consider attending college, who come from low-income families, or whose ethnicities are underrepresented in colleges may feel that college isn’t for them.

College Board’s Access to Opportunity™ (A2O™) efforts are designed to identify and break down barriers that prevent students from applying to and enrolling in colleges that are their best academic, social, and financial fit. Our mission is to help all students recognize and make the most of the opportunities they’ve earned.
