About
The SAT is a standardized test
that evaluates verbal and mathematical ability in college applicants. Students
usually take the test in their junior and/or senior year of high school.The
2016 version includes two required sections (Evidence-Based Reading and
Writing, and Math), along with an optional Essay section. One of the most
important new features of the 2016 SAT is expanded scoring. Students receive
composite scores of 400 to 1600, built from the Evidence-Based Reading and
Writing and Math section scores of 200 to 800. Test-takers are also given
scores for individual tests within the sections in addition to sub-scores on
specific verbal and mathematical skills. Cross-test scores reflect student
performance on certain analytical abilities that are assessed in both required
sections. Essays are scored separately by two independent readers, and these
essay scores do not affect any other scoring area.
