SAT®
The SAT measures critical reading, mathematical reasoning and writing skills students develop over time and skills they need for successful academic performance in college. The test is given seven times during the academic year at high schools and colleges. Students can take the SAT as many times as they like, but they usually take it in the spring of their junior year, the beginning of their senior year, or both. The critical reading, math and writing sections are each scored on a 200–800 scale. When students register for the SAT, they are asked to complete the SAT Questionnaire, which asks them questions about their academic background, activities, and plans and preferences for college. The SAT Questionnaire is completed with the Registration Form, usually at home, giving students as much time as they need to complete it. Approximately 75% of all high school graduates who go to college take the SAT.
