The SAT Reasoning Test (formerly Scholastic Aptitude Test and Scholastic Assessment Test ) is a standardized test for college admissions in the United States . 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). [1] ETS now administers the exam. The College Board claims that the test can determine whether or not a person is ready for college. The current SAT Reasoning Test takes three hours and forty-five minutes and costs $45 ($71 International), excluding late fees. [2] Since the SAT's introduction in 1901, its name and scoring have changed several times. In 2005, the test was renamed to the "SAT Reasoning Test" with possible scores from 600 to 2400 combining test results from three 800-point sections (math, critical reading, and writing), along with other subsections scored separately.
