Why SAT Test
What is the purpose of taking SAT?
The SAT is used by colleges and universities to assess a student’s readiness for college-level work. A good SAT score can enhance a student’s application and improve their chances of being admitted to their desired institutions. Students seeking admission to undergraduate programs need to take the SAT. This exam is designed to assess candidates’ skills in writing, verbal reasoning, and mathematics. Those aiming to enroll in undergraduate courses, especially in the US and Canada, must take the SAT. Additionally, many schools offer scholarships based on SAT scores. The SAT score is a part of the holistic review process used by many colleges to get a comprehensive view of an applicant’s capabilities.
