About SAT®

The SAT®, originally called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States. Developed and administered by the College Board, the SAT® assesses a student's readiness for college and is intended to provide colleges with a common data point that can be used to compare all applicants. Over the years, the SAT® has undergone various changes in its structure, content, and scoring. Regardless of its format, preparation for the SAT® often involves review courses, practice tests, and study guides, as performance on the SAT® can influence college admissions decisions, scholarship opportunities, and more. It's worth noting that the SAT® is just one of many factors that colleges consider during the admissions process. Other factors include high school GPA, extracurricular activities, personal essays, letters of recommendation, and interviews.

In January 2022, the College Board announced changes to the SAT®, transitioning it to a digital format over the coming years. This move came in response to changing educational landscapes and the desire to make the test more accessible and relevant to today's students. The "digital SAT®" refers to this new version of the test, which students take on a computer rather than using pencil and paper. Currently, digital SAT is conducted world over except in the USA, where the new format of the test will make its debut in March, 2024.
