What is the SAT? Why is it important?

The SAT is a standardized test used for college admissions. It takes around 4 hours. The test consists of three 800 point parts; math, critical reading, and writing. A perfect score is a 2400.

We will be focusing on the Critical Reading section formerly known as the Verbal section. The types of questions in this section are ones where you complete the sentence with the best word fit (sentence completion) and ones where you answer questions about a passage (reading comprehension). The questions in which you must complete a sentence use high level vocabulary. This is the vocabulary that we hope to introduce you to.
