Background Information
背景信息
SAT（Scholastic Aptitude Test and Scholastic Assessment Test）被称作学术能力测试和学术评估测试。许多美国大学都要求考生提供SAT的成绩。SAT的目的是通过测试学生在高中学习的内容和他们的应试能力来衡量一个学生的学术潜力。SAT是一个多重选择题考试，每个正确答案添加分数，每个不正确答案减分数。SAT也测试学生是否为了考试做了准备。学生对SAT考试准备得充分与否决定了学生的SAT分数，并决定学生所能申请的大学。
SAT包括三个部分，分别是写作、数学和阅读，每个部分的分数段是200~800分。平均分是大约1500分。大多数高校接受有平均分数的学生。不过，一些好的大学需要SAT的分数在2100以上。能取得2100分以上的学生是进入前10%的考生。统计表明，在一百万学生里大约有二十人能在SAT考试中获得满分--2400分。
