SAT The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) has for 85 years been the entry route of choice for college aspirants in America. The exam is conducted by an organization called the College Board.

There are two types of SAT exams, appropriately titled SAT I and SAT II. The former evaluates three basic skills Math, Writing and Critical Reading. The latter is a subject specific test and is relevant for those who are looking at specializing in a particular area.
