The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) is a standardized test used for college admissions in the United States. It measures your readiness for college by evaluating skills in reading, writing, and math.

Here’s a summary of the test’s components:

Reading: This section includes passages from various genres, such as literature, history, and social studies. Questions test your ability to understand and analyze written material, including identifying main ideas, understanding context, and interpreting details.
Writing and Language: This part assesses your grammar, punctuation, and editing skills. You’ll be asked to revise and improve passages by correcting errors and enhancing clarity and coherence.
Math: The Math section is divided into two parts:
No Calculator: Questions test your mathematical problem-solving skills without the use of a calculator.
Calculator: This part allows you to use a calculator and includes more complex problems, such as those involving algebra, geometry, and data analysis.
Essay (Optional): The Essay section, which is optional, requires you to read a passage and analyze how the author constructs their argument. It measures your writing and analytical skills. Note that not all colleges require the SAT Essay, so check the requirements of the schools you’re applying to.
