Overview
Most colleges and universities require their applicants to take the Scholastic
Achievement Test (SAT). Consequently, most of high school juniors
and seniors will take this exam as part of the college admissions process.
The SAT claims to evaluate reading, writing and mathematical abilities.
Students earn three scores: a critical reading score, a writing score,
and a math score, each of which will lie between 200 and 800, total 2400. A reasonable score should be above 1800; scores above 2000 are good, above 2200 are very good, above 2300 are extremely good.
The importance
of preparation
Universities depend on the SAT scores because there are no national educational
standards. An "A"from one teacher may not represent the same work and accomplishments
as an "A" from another teacher, even at the same school, not to mention different schools in different cities or states. The SATs provides
universities with a quick way to compare applicants from thousands of
different high schools. On each test date, hundreds of thousands of students
in the United States and abroad take the same SAT. You are all in the
same boat, but you can be better prepared for the journey with the right
test prep.
