About the SAT Reasoning Test
The SAT helps college admissions officers make fair and informed admissions decisions. Combined with a student's academic record, it is an indicator of college success/readiness. Since its launch in 1926, the SAT has helped millions of students connect with college success. The SAT tests the subject matter learned by students in high school and how well they apply that knowledge—the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed in college.
