The SAT test was formerly known as Scholastic Aptitude Test and Scholastic Assessment Test, and now simply the SAT. This is a standardized test for undergraduate college admissions in the United States. Many US & Canadian universities use this test for their undergraduate admission process. The SAT is owned, published, and developed by the College Board, a non- profit organization in the United States and was once developed, published, and scored by the Educational testing service (ETS). ETS now administers exam. The SAT assesses the critical thinking skills students need for academic success in college – kills that students learned in high school.
