SAT Preparation

What is the SAT Test?

The SAT measures general scholastic aptitude in three areas: critical reading, quantitative reasoning, and writing.

The critical reading section (formerly known as the verbal section) has two question types: sentence completion and reading comprehension. The Quantitative section covers four main topic areas: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and mathematical logic. The writing section of the SAT consists of two parts: a student-written essay section, and multiple choice questions that will measure your ability to identify grammatical errors and improve sentences or paragraphs.

Who needs to take the SAT test?

Most 4-year and research institutions require prospective students to take either the ACT or SAT for admission. To determine the requirements for your school of choice you can check out our GA Colleges section or contact the admissions office at the school you wish to attend.
