SAT

The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) is a standardized academic proficiency test administered by the College Board. The SAT has a total score of 1600, divided into three sections: Reading (400), Grammar (400), and Mathematics (800). There is also an optional essay section worth 24 points (8 points for reading comprehension, 8 points for passage analysis, and 8 points for English writing). The SAT is administered and graded by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). While there is no official expiration date for test scores, some community colleges only accept SAT scores within the past two years.
