• Colleges use the SAT as a way to check against unequal opportunities, variable standards and grade inflation.
• Some colleges use SAT scores for placement and scholarship opportunities.
• SAT scores are only one among many factors that colleges use to make admission decisions.
How Do Colleges Use the SAT®?
*Along with high school grades, the SAT is the best predictor of college success.
The SAT® provides a valid, nationally consistent measure
of what students have learned and how well they apply that knowledge.*
