SAT
The SAT is a standardized test that colleges use to evaluate applicants. Over two million students take the SAT every year and it is used to evaluate a student’s college preparedness. It is designed to measure a student’s ability to understand and process elements in three subjects: reading, writing, and math. Subject tests are offered for students who may choose to apply for a specific program or college that encourages it.
Students need to plan to take the SAT more than once to get the score they want for college applications. Consequently, students should take the SAT for the first time in the Spring of their 11th grade year. This allows time for them to retake the exam again in the Fall before score reports are needed for school applications.
