The '''Scholastic Aptitude Test''' or SAT, is a test given to gage knowledge and reasoning ability for [[high school]] students wishing to go on to [[college]]. It is one of many tools used to determine college acceptance.
Over the years the scores of the test steadily declined, causing more than one realignment of the scoring criteria. The test used to have a section for [[math]] and a section for [[english]]. A perfect score was an 800 for each section so 1600 total. The lowest score possible was a 200. Earlier in the history of the SAT scores could include any number within the range of 400 to 1600, but this changed to be rounded off to the tens place, so the next highest score after a 430 would be a 440.
The most recent SAT has divided into 3 sections, breaking off a writing section from the english side so the three topics are now math, critical [[reading]], and [[writing]]. So a perfect score is now 2400.
