About the Training
Introduction
The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) is a standardized college admissions test that assesses a student’s readiness for higher education. The SAT measures a student’s knowledge and skills in reading, writing, and math, and is accepted by most colleges and universities in the United States as part of their admissions process. The exam is developed and administered by the College Board and is designed to help colleges evaluate a student’s readiness for college-level work. The SAT is typically taken by high school juniors and seniors, and is offered several times throughout the year. In addition to being used as a college admissions tool, the SAT is also used to award scholarships and determine eligibility for other educational programs. By achieving a strong score on the SAT, students can increase their chances of being accepted into their desired college or university, and pursuing their academic and professional goals.
