| | SAT or Scholastic Aptitude TestIntroductionThe SAT is a standardized, multiple-choice test used by most U.S. colleges and universities for admissions purposes. SAT scores are also used to determine scholarship eligibility. The test is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and given nationally seven times a year. The SAT I is offered every year in October, November, December, January, March or April, May, and June. The SAT I is a focused test on verbal and math skills, it is primarily designed to measure how well one can read and think. StructureThe SAT I consists of seven-sections and an essay writing section. It is a three-hour exam. The 25 minute essay will always be the first section and the 10 minute multiple choice writing section will always be the last section. Three of the sections are Verbal, three are Math, and one is experimental. The experimental section is used by ETS strictly for its own research; it can either be Verbal or Math and is not counted towards the final score. The seven sections appear in a slightly different order every time the SAT is administered. SAT I - MATH
