Each SAT section is scored on a scale of 200-800. Most students take the SAT during the spring of their junior year and then again in the fall of their senior year in high school. Most students improve their scores the second time around. All scores are reported to colleges, but colleges generally look only at the highest scores.

 

SAT Subject Tests - are one-hour, primarily multiple-choice tests. They're designed to show your child's knowledge, and ability to apply that knowledge, in specific subject areas. Your child should take the subject tests as soon as possible after completing the course. These tests are generally only required by very competitive four year private colleges.  Check the school’s website to see what is required.
