What is the SAT?

The SAT is an entrance exam used by most colleges and universities to make admissions decisions. The SAT is a multiple-choice, pencil-and-paper test created and administered by the College Board. The purpose of the SAT is to measure a high school student's readiness for college, and provide colleges with one common data point that can be used to compare all applicants.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

The SAT® will be administered to 11th grade students during the regular school day.

Please speak to your child about the test experience. It is important that students approach the test with seriousness and confidence. We count on your support in the following ways:

Students are required to present IDs before entering the test room.
Please make sure your student arrives to school promptly on testing days.

Students must NOT bring any electronic devices or other personal belongings into the testing location.

Medical appointments and other out-of-school functions should not be scheduled during testing hours. If your child arrives at school after testing has begun, he/she will be escorted to an assigned area in order not to disrupt the testing environment for the other students. He/she will then take the missed test during make-up testing times or during the next scheduled class.

For more information about The SAT® please contact your child’s guidance counselor or the Site Test Coordinator (STC) at 803-469-6200 or visit http://ed.sc.gov/tests/high.

Sincerely,

Rose-Marie Richardson, Assistant Principal/STC

Shirley Gamble, Principal
