Scholastic Aptitude Test (Reasoning Test)
Wilson’s High School Code 395-190
The Scholastic Aptitude Test (Reasoning Test) is a four-hour examination designed to measure the critical reading, mathematical and writing abilities of candidates for college admissions. It is offered seven times during the school year. We recommend that college-bound juniors sit for the test two or three times; those who have not completed Algebra 2 should wait until late spring of the junior year to test for the first time and should repeat the testing in the fall of the senior year. It is possible to obtain a maximum score of 800 points on each of the areas for a possible total of 1600. The approximate average score for each area is 525 – 550.
Students register for the test online at collegeboard.com; the website includes practice questions and test-taking suggestions. The test is administered at the high school. Scores are available online two weeks after the exam and are mailed to students’ homes approximately four weeks after the test. For more information, visit the College Board website.
The SAT Subject Area Tests are one-hour exams assessing a student’s abilities in a given subject. Students can elect to take as many as three exams on any given test date and most of the tests are available multiple times through the year.These tests are used by the more competitive colleges for both admission and placement decisions, and the colleges often specify which tests they want a student to take. Students should check the entrance requirement of the colleges they are considering to see if they should register for Subject Area Tests.Students usually sit for these exams during the fall semester of the senior year; they should plan to study for the exams as they would for a final exam.Registration is conducted online at collegeboard.com; the test is administered at the high school, and scores are mailed to the student’s home approximately four weeks after the exam.
