The SAT I
The SAT I tests students' skills in critical reading, math, and writing. But it isn't a test of intelligence, nor a test of specific high school subject material. Anyone can achieve high scores - you just need to learn how to take the test. And your scores may play a critical role in getting you into your top choice college. These are the numbers that will qualify you for consideration at elite schools, make you eligible for scholarships, and enter you into honors programs. You can raise your scores by improving your test-taking skills with regular preparation that includes practice problems. So sharpen your No. 2 pencil, clear off your desk, and get ready to beat this test!
