		What is the SAT?   The SAT is a test that assess how well students use the skills and knowledge they have attained in and outside of the classroom. It is also a predictor of how well students will do in college.         It assesses students on three subject areas: Critical Reading, Math, and Writing, which are broken into nine scored sections and one unscored (to try out new questions for future editions of the test). It includes several different question types, including: a student-produced essay, multiple-choice questions, and student-produced responses (grid-ins).                   Why should I take the SAT?   The majority of colleges and universities require applicants to report their ACT or SAT results to be considered for admission.         Nearly every college in America accepts the SAT or SAT Subject Tests as a part of its admissions process.         Most colleges and universites on the East Coast prefer an SAT score over an ACT score.
