The SAT, Scholastic Aptitude Test, is a standardized test used by many colleges and universities to assess a student’s readiness for college. Performance on this test demonstrates a student’s math, reading, and writing skills.
- Above-average scores help you stand out among applicants with similar GPAs and extracurricular activities.
- For some colleges, the SAT is optional. If not required, students should decide whether or not to submit their SAT scores if they believe those scores may or may not help them during the college application process.
- Awareness of one’s most proficient skills can influence a student’s course and career decisions.
