Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT)

The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) is a standardized exam used primarily in the United States to assess high school students' readiness for college. It measures skills in critical reading, mathematics, and writing through multiple-choice questions and an optional essay. Colleges use SAT scores as one factor in admissions decisions to evaluate a student's academic preparedness and potential for success in higher education. The test is scored on a scale of 400 to 1600, with higher scores indicating stronger academic skills. Preparation involves practicing core subjects and test strategies to perform effectively on the exam day.
