The SAT is a standardized test usually used as an entrance exam for colleges/universities. It’s not really hard as there is no pass/fail point. You just get a score. Just putting your name down will get you a minimum score of a couple hundred points. There is a perfect score though.

The SAT has two parts. We refer to the first one as SAT I and the second as the SAT II. Most “scores” you see on Yahoo Answers refer to just the combined SAT 1 scores.

The SAT I has 3 sections now. Verbal (called Critical Reading now), Math, and Writing. Each has a highest score of 800, leaving you with a best possible score of 2400. Not too long ago, they didn’t have a writing section so you’ll hear some scores out of a possible 1600. It can get confusing because someone on here might say they got a score of 1400. That’s a very good score on the old 1600 scale, but it’s horrid on the 2400 scale.

The SAT II is more subject based. You can as many SAT II tests as you like. You just pick which test you want to take. It’s based on subjects like literature or biology instead of a generic term like “critical reading”.

The SAT is that the SAT is completely optional. There’s a competing test called the ACT that most colleges will accept when you apply for admission. If you don’t intend on going to a regular 4 year university, you don’t need to take either one.
