The full form of SAT is Scholastic aptitude
Test which is a standardized test used for college or university admissions in

colleges with one common criterion that can be used to compare all the
applicants all over the world. Besides SAT, colleges or universities also
consider your high school scores, academic transcript, and letters of recommendation, extra-curricular
activities, interviews, and personal essays. The weight placed on SAT scores
varies from college to college.
