SAT Math II

What is the new 'SAT '?

The SAT Reasoning Test (Scholastic Aptitude Test and Scholastic Assessment Test) is a standardized test taken by high school students across the United States and around the world for college admissions in the United States. It is also serves as a qualifying measure to identify students for college scholarships for most universities. The SAT is owned, published, and developed by the College Board, a non-profit organization in the United States.

The new SAT Reasoning Test (SAT) has two parts: Critical Reading (including writing and language), and Mathematics. The total maximum points from two parts is 1600. It is designed to measure problem solving ability, communication, and understanding complex relationships.
