The SAT Suite of Assessments is an integrated system of tests that measure reading, writing and math skills important for college and career readiness and success.  Results from these assessments provide insights into academic strengths and weaknesses, indicators of student readiness for AP (Advanced Placement) coursework, and connect students with access to scholarship opportunities.  SAT results can be reported for use in college and university admissions.
