Scholastic Aptitude Test (ACT)

What is SAT?

The SAT is a globally recognized college admission test that lets you show colleges what you know and how well you can apply that knowledge. It tests your knowledge of Reading, Writing and Math — subjects that are taught every day in high school classrooms and focuses on what you need to know to be successful in college or university. Most students take the SAT during their junior or senior year of high school, and almost all colleges and universities use the SAT to make admission decisions.

Taking the SAT is the first step in finding the right college for you — the place where you can further develop your skills and pursue your passions. But SAT scores are just one of many factors that colleges consider when making their admission decisions. High school grades are also very important. In fact, the combination of high school grades and SAT scores is the best predictor of your academic success in college.

Each year millions of students across the world take the SAT at more than 7,000 testing test centers in more than 180 countries.

The SAT is created, administered and scored by College Board.

Why should I take the SAT?

University/College admissions – If you’re applying to college/university, you will most certainly need to submit your SAT scores.
In addition to the SAT being a requirement, colleges and universities receive thousands of applications every year. The SAT scores allow them to narrow down the playing field and make decisions on acceptance.
This also makes your SAT score extremely important. Colleges/universities receiving over 50,000 applications don’t have the time to read every document, transcript or essay. A low score score may automatically work against you.
Awarding scholarships or financial aid – Some schools guarantee scholarships based on qualifying SAT scores.
Students seeking to apply to specialized academic or athletic programs must take the SAT.
Freshman course placement decisions – some colleges/universities use the SAT to place students into higher level-courses.

When can I take SAT?

The SAT is offered 5 times a year in Kenya – March, May, August, October and December.

What is a good SAT score?

SAT scores are based on the number of correct scores.
There is no penalty for incorrect answers.
The SAT is scored on a scale of 400-1600; the sum of 2 section scores.

SAT Mathematics: 200 – 800

SAT Evidence-Based Reading & Writing: 200 – 800

In general, 1200 is a pretty good score; 1300 is clearly a good score and 1400+ is a great score.
This is also dependent on the college/university’s SAT score requirements for admission.
