SAT
Course Description
The College Board created and owns the SAT, a standardized exam used for undergraduate admissions at US colleges. ETS manages its administration on the College Board’s behalf. The purpose of the exam is to determine if a candidate has the aptitude necessary for admission and financial aid at US colleges. The SAT can help you determine how much you’ve learned in high school and how well-prepared you are for college. The SAT tests more than simply word definitions and formula memorization; it also assesses your intuition, level of education, and ability to reason clearly and make wise decisions in the face of relevant facts.
Students frequently believe that taking the SAT is only necessary if they want to receive a scholarship or a bigger scholarship, but they fail to realize that the SAT is actually primarily a prerequisite for admission to reputable colleges. To reiterate, you are strongly encouraged to take the exam even if you are not searching for scholarships because it is a prerequisite for admission to the most reputable universities.
