More About the Tests

The SAT (or the ACT) is the test used by most colleges to help decide whether to admit students or not (along with GPA, transcript, recommendations, etc.). Not all schools require the SAT (or ACT), but the great majority do.  The PSAT is mainly a practice test. It’s very similar to the SAT, but without the essay and some algebra. However, a high score on the PSAT is the only way to qualify for a National Merit Scholarship, and a good score can also qualify you for some scholarship money.  So don’t blow it off.

In a nutshell, the SAT is offered 7 times a year, lasts for 3 hours and 45 minutes, and has 3 sections (math, reading, writing).  It costs about $43 to take.

A good SAT score is whatever you need to be competitive in the eyes of your target schools.  The average on each section of the test is around a 500.

We recommend taking the PSAT in October of your junior year, as well as an SAT in the winter or spring. While some students take the PSAT sophomore year, you can decide to get a preview by attending one of our free practice tests instead….less stress and faster feedback! You’ll also have more time to take any SAT Subject Tests you may need (depending on where you want to apply, you may need one or more).

SAT Scoring ( Athletes will be scored on Critical Reading and Math only) !!!

How is the SAT scored?
You'll earn a score on each of 3 sections: SAT Critical Reading, SAT Math, and SAT Writing  (the essay). Each is scored on a 200 to 800-point scale. The national average score per section is around 500.

What else do I need to know about SAT scoring?
Starting in March of 2009, the College Board is unrolling a new score-reporting policy that will allow students to pick and choose the SAT test scores they want released. Score Choice™ will give students the option to choose their best SAT results to send to colleges. So those terrible scores never need see the light of day.
Score Choice Fast Facts:

• Score Choice is optional and free
• The new policy does not affect scores sent directly to students and their high schools; both will continue to receive all scores
• To take advantage of the new policy, students simply select the test scores they want released according to the date the test was taken; If students DO NOT choose Score Choice, all of their test results will be sent to the schools specified as recipients
• Once the program is launched, students can choose scores from earlier test dates, too
• Only scores from an entire SAT test (Critical Reading, Writing and Mathematics) will be sent; students may not choose individual sections from different test sittings for release.
• Students who choose to send all of their test scores can still do so at no charge
• Students can also choose to release specific, individual SAT Subject Tests, rather than all of their Subject Tests

How important are SAT scores?

The weight placed on SAT scores varies from school to school. Colleges and universities also consider high school grade point average and academic transcript, letters of recommendation, interviews, and personal essays when deciding on admissions. In addition, virtually all U.S. colleges and universities will accept ACT scores in lieu of SAT scores. For more specific information about the weight of your scores, contact the admissions offices at the schools you apply to.

What About the PSAT?

Since the PSAT is very closely related to the SAT, the scoring is similiar.  Instead of a 200 to 800-point range for each section, they're each worth 20 to 80 points
