SAT

The globally recognized college entrance exam — the SAT® —showcases students’ college and career readiness. The test provides a path to opportunities, financial support and scholarships, in a way that's fair to all students. The SAT keeps pace with what colleges are looking for today — measuring the skills required for success in the 21st century.

The SATs have been redesigned and starting in March 2016, a “new” SAT will replace the current SAT. The new SAT includes a Reading Test, Writing and Language Test, and a Mathematics Test. The SAT has an optional essay component, which some colleges might require. SAT questions focus on skills that matter most for college readiness and success.  

The SAT is a standardized test that assesses the critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills that students need to be successful in college. Each of the two sections that comprise the SAT has a possible score of 800 points. The SAT test results represent one factor considered by many colleges and universities in making admissions decisions.  For more information on the SAT, please visit this webpage:
