SAT Reasoning Test
Wilson’s High School Code 395-190
The SAT (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.
Fee Waivers: Please talk to your school counselor about fee waivers if you are on free/reduced lunch or if there is a financial need.
