The SAT is an admission test accepted by the universities of the United States to assess the preparation of students for the university world. It builds on the work students are already doing in class and is owned by the College Board, a private, non-profit organization. The exam builds on the skills and competencies students have acquired in high schools and focuses on the knowledge they will use in college and in the real world.
The SAT exam is essential for all students who wish to pursue university studies in the USA. It is a requirement to get a sports or academic scholarship. The exam is done in person and consists of several sections: Reading, Writing and Language, Mathematics and, finally, an optional essay. Most universities accept the best combined grade for each of the sections, even obtained in different calls, so it is advisable to sit several times until you achieve the desired grade.
