The SAT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States. It's designed to assess your readiness for college-level work and provides a common data point for admissions offices.
The SAT measures the knowledge and skills you've learned in high school that are most important for success in college. It focuses on Reading, Writing and Language, and Math—skills that are essential for academic success across all majors.


Typically taken by students in their 11th or 12th year of high school. No specific prerequisites, but a strong grasp of high school-level mathematics and critical reading is necessary.
