SAT QUANTITATIVE
Created by the College Board, the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) is an entrance exam used by most colleges and universities to make admissions decisions. The idea (in theory, at least) is to provide colleges with one common criterion that can be used to compare all applicants. However, it is just one factor in the admissions decision. Schools also consider your high school GPA, academic transcript, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, interviews, and personal essays. The weight placed on SAT scores varies from school to school.
SCORING CRITERIA
Test-takers will get three separate scores, one for the Quantitative (the math), one for the Verbal, and one for the essays. Math and Verbal scores will range between 200 and 800. Essay scores range between 0 and 8.
Your SAT score remains valid for five years.
