Why Offer the SAT?
SAT School Day provides a summative, college-reportable measure of readiness while expanding access to college and career opportunities for more students.
The Value of a Connected Readiness System
The SAT serves as the culminating measure in a connected readiness system designed to track and support student progress over time. When paired with earlier assessments, the SAT helps schools and districts evaluate readiness sequentially, validate instructional impact, inform districtwide planning, and align supports to meet student needs.
