What is the SAT?

Created by the College Board, the SAT (for Scholastic Aptitude Test) is an entrance exam used by most colleges and universities to make admissions decisions. The idea (in theory, at least) is to provide colleges with one common criterion that can be used to compare all applicants. However, it is just one factor in the admissions decision. Schools also consider a student’s high school GPA, academic transcript, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, interviews, and personal essays. The weight placed on SAT scores varies from school to school.

The SAT is offered nationally every year in October, November, December, January, March, May and June.

For more specific information on the importance of SAT scores at the specific schools a student is interested in attending, he or she should speak with the guidance department or contact the school directly.
