Many athletes take the test up to 3 times, with their first early in their Junior year. The most important test that you are going to need to take is the "College Board SAT" exam.

SAT REASONING TEST: This Test is composed of 3 parts, and is commonly referred to as SAT 1.

Writing: Encompasses an essay you have to write in approximately 25 minutes. It also includes questions on word usage, grammar and word choice.

Reading: This section encompasses critical reading, sentence completion as well as reading comprehension.

Math: This portion of the test is usually the most difficult for athletes, it includes everything from statistics, algebra, geometry, probability, number operations, statistics and more. Typically the only type of math you won't find on here is Trigonometry.

This exam is not considered a test that you pass or fail. Each section you write is worth 800 points, meaning the entire exam has a total of 2400 points.For each section the minimum you can score is 200, therefore the lowest a person can actually score on the SAT's is a 600.

*The majority of colleges that actually disregard the Writing section, therefore making the significant parts of the exam to be scored out of 1600.However, this doesn't mean that this method will stick around forever. In any case, It is strongly recommended that a prospect complete all sections to the best of your ability.
