The SAT is the best known and most widely used college admissions test in existence. Not all schools require students to take the SAT before applying, but most do. Doing well on the exam is of critical importance to every high school student who hopes to go on to attend college. A low score can have very damaging consequences, from disqualifying a student when it comes to receiving scholarship funds all the way down to preventing a student from being accepted into even second or third tier schools. On the other hand, those who do very well on the SAT tend to get accepted into better colleges and universities while receiving many more scholarship offers, including full four year scholarships.

The SAT is officially called the SAT Reasoning Test, but most people simply call it the SAT. It consists of three sections - Mathematics, Critical Reading, and Writing. Test takers have three hours and forty-five minutes to complete the exam. Scores range from a possible 200, which is essentially a 0, to a perfect score of 2400, or 800 on each section

.

The exam is given seven times a year - January, March or April, May, June, October, November, and December. There is a fee to take the exam, which is $50 for each time you take it.

SAT Practice Question

1. What is the area of an isosceles triangle inscribed in a circle of radius r if the base of the triangle is the diameter of the circle?

1. r²
2. 2r²
3. πr²
4. 2πr

Answer is below.

1. Answer is A: The area of a triangle equals half the product of base times height. Since the base passes through the center, we have base = 2r and height = r, so that the area A is A = r × 2r / 2 = r²
