The SAT or ACT is a standardized test that students must take as part of their college application. Don’t let anyone fool you, that number is really important.
It can be a royal pain in the neck, especially if you hate standardized testing, but it’s a big part of the college game, so if you plan on going, you need to take it seriously. There are SAT review books and courses, and the College Board puts out an SAT question of the day, so kids can practice.
Students can take the SAT or ACT exams several times. The recommendation now is that they don't take it until January of the Junior year, so that they have been exposed to more of the test matter in their normal school work. If they score really well, they might only take it once, but most students take re-take it up to about three times to try to improve their grade. Students can re-take the exam in their senior year, even after they have applied for college. Most colleges will hold the application open pending the exam result.
