(Formerly SAT 1)

The SAT Reasoning Test contains three sections: Writing, critical reading, and math. It is given several time during the year. Students must pick up an application packet in the Counseling Office, fill it out and mail it to the College Board. This test is required by a few out of state schools, but not all.
