SAT exam information along with test dates and deadlines is important to keep in mind when applying to colleges

Keeping abreast of SAT exam informationand deadlines is crucial if you are thinking of applying to a college. Nearly 2 million students take either the SAT I (the SAT Reasoning Test) or SAT II (subject) tests each year. The SAT is one of two widely used standardized tests for US college admissions: the ACT (American College Test) is the other. Some schools prefer one test over the other; some will accept scores from either test; and some schools do not require standardized test scores at all. Check the application requirements for the schools you are applying to.
