High school seniors take the SAT to get into college.
High school seniors applying to college may be confused about where to start. Many colleges have special requirements, and it can be hard to figure out which college requires what. One of the basic requirements of nearly every private and public degree-granting university in the United States is the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). While most colleges do not have fixed requirements for the SAT, accepted students tend to score within a certain range on this test at particular institutions. An overview of admitted students' scores can help prospective applicants narrow down their choices.
