Value of the SAT

The SAT tests what is learned in high school and the student’s ability to apply those critical skills for success in college and in the workplace.

Colleges and universities value the SAT.

Ninety percent of admission officers say a test like the SAT is of “moderate or considerable importance.”*

The SAT provides information that goes beyond GPA.

Research shows that, regardless of socioeconomic group, students who do well on the SAT have a better chance of staying in college and graduating.

The SAT is fair.

Each SAT question goes through an extensive review with a diverse set of educators and is pretested to ensure that each question is fair to all subgroups.
