    College Test - Mark Williams

    document.

    INTRODUCTION

    The SAT test is a rite of passage.  Hoards of high school students take this well known test every year as a precursor to the college experience.  This is the test that is known for being one of the deciding factors of whether students are accepted to the colleges of their choice, or not. 

    While a student's academic record and involvement in extracurricular activities has an influence on how he or she is perceived by colleges, the SAT test is a one time measurement of a student's abilities.  The past academics and activities are taken from years of effort that lead up to the present but the SAT test is done in less than a day.  This test is not so much about what a student has done but more about what they can do.  It is your one chance to help college admissions offices answer a list of questions that they ask about every student.

    Is this student able to handle the rigors of college?  Does this student have the vocabulary that a college student will need to succeed?  The reasoning skills?  The ability to communicate effectively through writing?  Is this student more or less capable that all the other applicants?  These are all questions that the SAT test was designed to answer. 

    While one test may hardly seem capable of measuring the overall capabilities of any student, this is the standard of measurement that is applied.  It gives college admissions offices the information that they need to help separate those students who have the usable skills and knowledge to apply to their future studies and those who may not be quite so ready to face the halls of higher learning.  Suffice it to say, this is one of the best tools available for making this evaluation available today.  More important than that, it is the one that is used.  There is no getting around it.

    With so much riding on this one little test, you have to wonder how you should approach it.  Should you just relax and trust in your educational background to carry you through this testing experience?  Should you be spending all your free time preparing for this test that could be a deciding factor in your educational future?  What score do you need to be able to do what you want to do as far as your higher education goes?

    Furthermore, when should you take the SAT test?  Should you take it more than once?  Is taking it really necessary?  How can you prepare yourself for a test that may very well decide where you spend the next four (give or take) years of your life?

    Before you become too overwhelmed with questions, know that for every question there is an answer.  Begin with the basics.  First, if you plan to go to college then you will most likely have to take the SAT test.  Second, you need to know exactly how to prepare yourself if you want the highest score possible and the ability to get into the college of your choice.

    The score that you will need depends on the colleges you send applications to and how stringent their admissions criteria are.  You should just put forth every effort to get the highest score on the SAT test that you can.  This will open the most doors for you and will accurately showcase just what you can do when you apply yourself.

    This is a lot to think about.  Your entire future may seem to hinge upon this one test.  But take heart.  You do not have to face this life-changing test unprepared.

    WHAT IS THE SAT?

    Everyone knows about the SAT test but few have a grasp of the scope of this examination.  It is a test that helps you to get into college if you do well or that can limit your college choices if you do poorly.  This is the general answer that anyone who has heard of the SAT test can come up with but there is a lot more to it than that.

    AN OVERVIEW OF THE SAT

    The SAT test is a standardized test that is meant to give an accurate indication of a student's abilities in the areas of critical reading, mathematics, and writing.  You can receive up to 800 points for each section.  This test is designed to help colleges and universities to gauge the overall skill levels of prospective students.  These scores are considered along with the academic records and other achievements of students as colleges and universities consider each student applying for admission. 

    WHAT IS THE PSAT?

    The PSAT is the preliminary SAT.  It is essentially a practice test for the SAT and is made to evaluate the same skills that the real SAT test does.  This PSAT test can be used to help students to evaluate their readiness to take the SAT and to see how their scores might compare to those of other students who take this test.  It can be utilized as a sort of test run for the SAT.  The PSAT allows students to compete for scholarships as well.

    WHY SHOULD YOU PREPARE FOR THE SAT?

    If you have been paying attention so far then the answer to this question is pretty obvious.  You want to do as well on the SAT test as you possibly can.  The SAT test is a part of how most colleges and universities evaluate prospective students. 

    It can play a factor in scholarships and may decide if a potential student is accepted into a school at all.  If you want to get into colleges or universities with selective admissions, and all the good ones have the ability to be selective, then you will want to present the best image of yourself that you can.  Your SAT scores are a part of that image. 

    Consider what college admissions procedures are like.  Countless faceless students send in their applications to colleges and universities.  Only their academic records, extracurricular activities, charity work, SAT scores, and such things are available to those deciding to accept them or not.  Your records will be one set of papers among many. 

    Your academic record is, for the most part,
