The SAT Test is a standardized exam that is used by U.S. colleges in their admissions process. The SAT Test serves a similar function to the ACT in that both are used by colleges and universities as a factor in admissions.
Different institutions place varying degrees of importance on standardized tests and use them along with other factors such as GPA, class rank, community service, recommendations and extracurricular activities.
The SAT Test is meant to measure a high school student’s readiness for college. The SAT Test consists of multiple choice questions in the areas of: English, mathematics, and reading.
