SAT
The SAT is a standardized entrance exam used by most colleges in the U.S. to determine a student’s readiness for college. When making admissions decisions, colleges consider applicants’ SAT scores along with a number of other factors, including GPA, extracurricular activities, personal statements, letters of recommendation, and interviews.
The SAT is divided into four parts: Reading, Writing and Language, Math, and the optional Essay. Students are given 3 hours and 50 minutes to complete the entire exam, including the Essay section. SAT scores are out of 1600 points: 800 total for the combined reading and writing/language portion, 800 total for the math portion.
There are seven SAT test dates each year in August, October, November, December, March, May and June. Students may take the SAT any time starting their freshman year. Many students take the SAT for the first time in their junior year and often retake it in the fall of their senior year.
