Typically the first query any test-taker has is: What does SAT training stand for? Well, interestingly, today it’s an empty acronym with no expanded meaning. Originally, it was short for Scholastic Aptitude Test and later Scholastic Assessment test, reflecting its owner, The College Board’s, purpose to use the test as an assessment of intelligence or aptitude.
Today, the SAT test is a well-designed, comprehensive evaluation of a student’s college-readiness and a quantitative factor for admission officers to compare college applicants.
Why SAT?
SAT is mostly written by students who have finished high-school and intend to apply for undergraduate programs in USA & some other countries. Though some colleges accept either SAT or ACT, many more insist on SAT. So, it is a critical criterion to get a seat in your dream undergrad school.
Presently, over 2 million students across 175 countries write the SAT every year. In India, more than 35 Indian Universities accept SAT scores for admission. College Board, in partnership with Indian Universities, has established India Global Higher Education Alliance to facilitate Indian students, providing SAT fee waivers, admission assistance, scholarship programs as well as SAT guidance.
