Given by the College Board, the SAT is a three-hour, forty-five minute test that measures verbal and mathematical reasoning students need for success in US colleges and universities. Students will receive three scores: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (800 points), Mathematics (800 points), and Combined (1600 points). An optional Essay section is available as well.
The majority of US schools, with notable exceptions, require the SAT (or the ACT, a similar test described below) as part of the application process. Most students begin taking SATs during 11th grade and, on average, will take the test two or three times.
SATs are offered at high schools throughout the DC/Maryland/Virginia area. (Rochambeau is not an SAT test site.)
