SAT Overview - The SAT —
which originally stood for Scholastic Assessment Test and now is simply called the SAT — is a standardized test that evaluates a student’s critical skills and comprehension to determine how they might handle college-level courses. The test was originally created in 1926 and has gone through multiple revisions (the most recent was in 2016) to adjust to education levels, expectations, and technology. The test is owned, developed, and published by the College Board, a non-profit organization in the US.
