Standardized Testing-The SAT
What is the SAT? The SAT is a standardized test for college admissions in the United States. Owned, published, and developed by the College Board, it is the nation's most widely used admissions exam among colleges and universities.
Wondering why you need to take the SAT? Here are 5 reasons to think about when planning to take this test if you are a junior or senior:
1. SCHOLARSHIPS: there are many scholarships based solely on your SAT score. Most scholarships ask what your SAT score is also.
2. Balance out a low GPA: So your grades aren't the best they can be. A high SAT score can balance out a low GPA, and vice versus.
3. Speeding through college: having a high SAT score can usually prevent you from taking remedial or basic level math and writing skill classes, boosting your process faster in college.
4. Universally accepted: All major universities in the United States accept the SAT as a college entrance exam; most accept the ACT.
5. Requirement for Applying to college: Most, if not all colleges ask for standardized test scores as apart of the application process. Although there is the ACT, as stated before, the SAT is more commonly accepted when the ACT is not always.
