Scholastic Aptitude Test. It’s a standardized test that is used by most colleges to evaluate your chance of success in college. Basically, it’s a measure of your critical thinking skills. There are also SAT tests (separate tests) in specific subjects, but those aren’t required quite so universally.

SAT Scholastic Aptitude Test. It’s a written test of the knowledge you’ve learned through high school. For some schools the scores are very important, others less important. Your teachers right most schools require you to have taken it, even if they don’t weigh the scores.

If you have special needs you can usually receive accomidations for the test.

SAT Reasoning Test is a standardized test for college admissions in the United States. The SAT is administered by the not-for-profit College Board corporation in the United States, and is developed, published, and scored by the Educational Testing Service (ETS).

Basically it shows colleges how smart you are.

all of the above is correct however the SAT tests your reasoning skills which is slightly different then your knowledge. the ACT’s test your specific knowledge while the SAT’s test your logic and reasoning skills. Yes the SAT is huge in the US however generally, the SAT is more popular in the East and the ACT in the West.

It is dependent upon what you want it for. Presumably you are asking, seeing that you want this understanding for buying into school. Whether your rating is well or no longer is dependent upon the distinct school where you will have an curiosity. Colleges quite often submit the common ratings of scholars who’ve been admitted to the university or who attend the university. So it can be exceptional to verify those ratings of colleges which might be of curiosity to you.
