SAT
The SAT is a standardized test that is designed to measure high-school students’ readiness for college. Therefore colleges can use the SAT scores as a way to benchmark and compare their applicants. The SAT tests the students’ reading, mathematics, writing skills, and knowledge. This is the knowledge that the student will acquire as part of a rigorous high school curriculum. The SAT also measures how well students can apply their knowledge, in an allotted time.
