The SAT is a standardized test that is 3 hours and 50 minutes long and is used to measure a student's academic abilities. It consists of 4 mandatory sections: Math (one section with a calculator and one without), Reading, and Writing and Language. There is an optional essay section as well. Colleges use the results from this test to help them determine who will be admitted into their programs.

The SAT does not take any points off if you get an answer wrong, so make sure not to leave any questions unanswered. Each section has a scoring range of 200 to 800 points, which combine for a 1600-point total. The essay is broken up into three categories-- Reading, Analysis, and Writing-- each of which is scored from 2 to 8, for a combined possible total of 24.

If after the test you want to cancel your scores, you can ask the test supervisor for a "Request to Cancel Test Scores" form. You will have a few days to mull over your decision, but your completed form must be submitted no later than the Thursday after the test in order for the cancellation to be processed.
