SAT (originally known as Scholastic Aptitude Test, then Scholastic Assessment Test , then SAT reasoning, and now just SAT) is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States. The SAT is owned and published by the College Board, a private and non- profit organization in the United States.
The SAT is taken by High school sophomores, Juniors and seniors. SAT basically measures literacy and writing skills that are needed for academic excellence in college. Many deem the SAT as the first step to higher learning for students of all backgrounds.
The SAT College Board suggests the following as some of the reasons to take up the SAT challenge.
- It tests what you already know
The SAT tests the reading, writing and math skills that you learn in school and that are critical for success in college and beyond.
It gives both you and colleges a sense of how you’ll be able to apply the thinking, writing and study skills required for college course work.
- It’s fair to everyone
The questions are rigorously researched and tested to make sure students from all backgrounds have an equal chance to do well.
The test is straightforward. There are no tricks designed to trip you up. Students who do well in the classroom are often the same ones who will do well on the SAT.
- It’s more than just a test
The SAT also provides the opportunity for you to connect to scholarship opportunities, place out of certain college courses and learn more about your academic strengths.
- It helps you select the right fit for college
SAT scores are among the factors considered in college admission. Many schools’ websites share the range of SAT scores reported by their admitted students. You can also find this information in College Search. This valuable information allows you to research which colleges might be the best fit for you.
Now in the LKC library we do have Text books on SAT questions. This can be very helpful especially to individuals who're completing their studies and getting ready for higher learning. One can also go online to check out the SAT questions of the day.
