The SAT is an admission test accepted by all U.S. colleges and is intended to determine a student’s level of college readiness in the academic subjects of Math and English/Language Arts.

As the required high school state assessment, the SAT will fulfill the requirement that students take an assessment for college and career readiness in order to receive a regular high school diploma, unless eligible to take the alternative assessment or otherwise exempt from testing. The SAT will also fulfill the requirement that high school students must take an assessment accepted for student admission to intuitions of higher education.

The SAT will be used for school and district accountability requirements.

While academic preparation in Math and English/Language Arts is an essential part of readiness for college and careers, students also need preparation in other subjects along with persistence, motivation, time management, and technical skills.
