SAT
The SAT is a standardized external exam (formerly known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test[1], the Scholastic Achievement Test, and the SAT Reasoning Test) of mathematical, verbal, and analytical skills taken by high school students to demonstrate their abilities for post-secondary study[2], often required for admission to college undergraduate programs. In alignment with the CSU system, SDSU no longer uses SAT or ACT exam scores from first-year applicants for determining admission eligibility. If accepted, ACT or SAT test scores can be used as one of the measures to place students in the proper mathematics and/or written communication courses.[3]For more information about the SAT, please visit the SAT Website.
