The SAT is a standardized test used for college admissions in the United States. It consists of two main sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) and Math.
Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW): This section includes Reading and Writing & Language. It assesses your ability to read and understand written passages, as well as your knowledge of grammar and vocabulary.
Math: The Math section tests your understanding of mathematical concepts and your ability to apply them to solve problems. It includes both multiple-choice and grid-in questions.
The SAT is scored on a scale of 400 to 1600, with 200 to 800 points possible for each of the two main sections. The essay, if you choose to take it, is scored separately on a scale of 6 to 24.
The total score is the sum of the EBRW and Math scores, ranging from 400 to 1600. The essay score does not affect the total score but is reported separately.
Percentile scores indicate how you performed compared to other test-takers. For example, if your score is in the 75th percentile, it means you scored higher than 75% of test-takers.
Keep in mind that colleges use SAT scores along with other factors, such as high school GPA, extracurricular activities, and personal essays, to make admissions decisions.
