What are the SATs and when do I take them?
Scholastic Assessment Test is a three-hour thirty-five minute CollegeBoard, multiple choice test measuring verbal and mathematical reasoning abilities that are developed over the years. The critical reading section measures your abilities to identify genre, relationships among parts of a text, cause and effect, rhetorical devices and comparative arguments. The math section measures your abilities to solve problems involving topics from Geometry, Algebra I and Algebra II. The writing section asks you to compose and essay requiring you to take a position on an issue, analyze it and support your viewpoint. Additionally, multiple choice questions measure our grammar abilities. Test scores from each of the three sections are reported on a scale of 200 to 800 with a national average at about 500 for each section, with composite scores of between 600 and 2400.
The SAT is one component required for application to many colleges in the United States and most students take the SAT exam during the spring of JUNIOR year and again in the fall of SENIOR year. And you ask what is the best preparation for this test? Listening to your teachers. Learn vocabulary for keeps, not just the quiz. Read editorials (especially compare and contrast) in the newspaper. Pay attention in math and really learn the formulas and rules.
