SAT

 The SAT is a standardized college admissions test used by most U.S. colleges and universities to assess a student’s readiness for college. It evaluates skills in reading, writing, and math.

The SAT consists of three main sections:

       o Reading: Focuses on reading comprehension, interpreting texts, and understanding vocabulary        

                       in context.

       o Writing and Language: Assesses grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure, including   

                     editing and revising written passages.

       o Math: Divided into two parts:

                 - One allows a calculator.

                 - One does not allow a calculator.

      o Essay (Optional): A 50-minute essay section where students are asked to analyze a passage 

                   and explain how the author constructs an argument (note: some colleges may not  

                    require this).

The SAT is scored on a scale of 400 to 1600, combining the scores from the Reading/Writing sections (200-800) and the Math section (200-800). The Essay is scored separately.

The test lasts about 3 hours (without the essay) or 3 hours and 50 minutes (with the essay). 

A good SAT score can improve a student’s chances of getting accepted into a desired college or qualifying for scholarships. Many colleges have SAT score requirements or use the scores to offer merit-based scholarships.
