The SAT is an entrance exam used by most colleges and universities to make admissions decisions. The SAT is a multiple-choice, computer-based test created and administered by the College Board.
The SAT is a digital, globally-recognized standardized test administered by the College Board for college admissions, primarily in the United States and internationally. It assesses a student’s readiness for college-level work by evaluating their skills in Reading, Writing, and Math, with an emphasis on applying knowledge rather than memorization. High school students typically take the SAT to demonstrate their abilities to college admission boards and to improve their chances of getting into desired colleges and securing scholarships. The SAT is used to measure a high school student’s readiness for college, and provide colleges with one common data point that can be used to compare all applicants. College admissions officers will review standardized test scores alongside your high school GPA, the classes you took in high school, letters of recommendation from teachers or mentors, extracurricular activities, admissions interviews, and personal essays. How important SAT scores are in the college application process varies from school to school.
