The SAT Reasoning Test is a measure of the critical thinking skills you'll need for academic success in college. The SAT assesses how well you analyze and solve problems�skills you learned in school that you will need in college. Nearly every college in America accepts the SAT or Subject Tests as a part of its admissions process.

The SAT includes a Critical Reading, Math, and Writing section. Each section of the SAT is scored on a scale of 200�800.

The ACT is also one of the most widely accepted college entrance exams. It assesses your general educational development and ability to complete college-level work. The multiple-choice tests cover four skill areas: English, mathematics, reading, and science. The Writing test, which is optional, measures your skills in planning and writing a short essay.
