Most four year colleges and universities require applicants to submit an SAT or ACT score report for admission. The purpose is for the admission office to evaluate if a student has the academic ability to be successful at their institution. Students can easily become confused on which test to take for their college choices.
The Scholastic Assessment Test
The SAT is delivered in two versions: the SAT I and SAT II. The SAT I (as opposed to the SAT II) is the appropriate test for initial college admission consideration. Comprised of three sections, critical reading, math, and writing, the SAT I testing is available seven times a year. Each section has a score range of 200-800, so 2400 is a perfect score. The SAT is given seven times a year.
