SAT Information

The SAT is a college admissions test that assesses the skills you’re learning in school: reading, writing and math.

Most students take a college admissions test during their junior or senior year of high school. Colleges and universities generally use such a test to make admission decisions.
- The critical reading section includes reading passages and sentence completions.
- The writing section includes a short essay and multiple-choice questions on identifying errors and improving grammar and usage.
- The mathematics section includes questions on arithmetic operations, algebra, geometry, statistics and probability
