Today's SAT Test Requires More Critical Thinking

The college entrance SAT exam, or Scholastic Aptitude Test, has long been an important factor in college acceptance as an indicator of readiness for post-secondary education. Though not the only deciding factor, SAT test scores are considered along with grade point average, the level of difficulty of courses taken, extracurricular activities and sports participated in, and demonstration of leadership skills. Some colleges put more importance on the SAT than others, with the leading universities requiring a minimum score to be considered for entrance.The SAT was changed in 2005 to place a greater emphasis on critical thinking skills. It still tests on three major areas of knowledge: math, reading comprehension, and writing, covering an expansive amount of material. Four hours is allowed for students to complete it.Amon
