The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States. It was first introduced in 1926, and its name and scoring have changed several times. The test is intended to measure literacy, numeracy, and writing skills that are needed for academic success in college.
As of my knowledge cut-off in September 2021, the SAT is divided into two sections:
- Math: This section tests a student’s ability to solve problems that involve basic arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis. It’s divided into two parts: one that permits the use of a calculator and one that does not.
- Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW): This section is further divided into two tests:
- Reading Test: It assesses the ability to read passages from literature, historical documents, social sciences, and natural sciences and answer comprehension questions.
- Writing and Language Test: This part tests grammar and usage skills. It asks students to read passages and improve them by changing words, fixing grammatical errors, or revising for clarity and conciseness.
The SAT also includes an optional essay section, where students are asked to analyze a written argument. However, as of 2021, the College Board announced that the SAT essay would be discontinued after June 2021.
Each section of the SAT (Math and EBRW) is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, resulting in a total score range of 400 to 1600. The optional essay is evaluated separately and does not contribute to the total score.
The SAT is administered by the College Board, a non-profit organization in the United States. They provide many resources for preparing for the test, including practice tests and study guides.
Remember, while the SAT can be important for college admissions, it’s just one factor among many that colleges consider. Grades, course rigor, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and personal essays are also very important.
