More than 80% of all four-year colleges and universities require SAT scores as a part of a student's application for admission. Colleges and universities (mainly in the USA) use SAT scores as an objective means to compare students attending different high schools.
Structure of Exam
The SAT I is a three-hour exam. These test sections may appear in any order and you will not be able to identify the experimental section. You will see the following sections on your test day. The verbal section includes three different types of questions: sentence completion, analogy questions and critical reading questions. The math section includes three types of questions: multiple-choice questions, quantitative comparison questions and grid-in questions, also called student-produced responses.
Results
The SAT results are comprised of three different scores: a total score (400-1600), a separate score for the verbal section (200-800) and a separate score for the mathematics section (200-800).
