What is SAT?

The SAT is a standardized test that most universities and colleges in the United States use for their undergraduate admissions. Originally, SAT meant the Scholastic Aptitude Test. It is now officially the SAT after changing its name many times in the interim.

The College Board, a not-for-profit organization, develops, publishes, and owns the SAT. The Educational Testing service used to develop the SAT earlier now administers it. There are 5 dates for the US students and 4 dates for the international students.

Although high school students generally take it, there are no prerequisites. The student taking the test shall be fluent in English as it is in the English language.
