The SAT is a standardized test historically used for college admissions in the United States. Originally introduced in 1926 as the Scholastic Aptitude Test, it has undergone several name and scoring revisions throughout its history. It traditionally assessed students on verbal and mathematical skills, with each section scored on a scale from 200 to 800.
This test is notable because, for decades, it served as a critical benchmark for undergraduate admissions to many U.S. colleges and universities. Its scores were a major component of student applications, making performance on the SAT a significant factor in the higher education landscape for American and international students alike.
Recently, the term "SAT" has appeared in news headlines across various contexts. In educational news, articles continue to offer preparation advice for students, particularly those applying to study abroad. The term also appears in other domains, including sports for Saturday football match schedules, financial news regarding company activities, and even in geological reports where it is used as an abbreviation in volcanic ash advisories.
