(1.4 points) The SAT Exam: A Key to College Admission The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States. It was first introduced in 1926 and has since undergone several changes to better assess students’ academic abilities. The test is designed to measure a student’s readiness for college, focusing on critical reading, writing, and mathematical skills. Many universities use SAT scores as part of their admissions process, though some institutions have recently made it optional. The SAT consists of two main sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) and Mathematics. The reading section evaluates comprehension skills, while the writing section tests grammar and language proficiency. The math section covers algebra, geometry, and some advanced topics. The total score ranges from 400 to 1600, with each section contributing equally. Additionally, there was once an optional essay section, but it was discontinued in 2021. Preparing for the SAT requires effective study strategies. Many students take practice tests, enroll in preparation courses, or use online resources to improve their scores. Since the test is timed, managing time efficiently is crucial. Some test-taking strategies, such as eliminating wrong answer choices and understanding question patterns, can help students perform better. Despite its long history, the SAT has been criticized for favoring students from wealthier backgrounds who have access to better preparation resources. In response, some colleges have adopted a test-optional policy, meaning applicants are not required to submit SAT scores. However, the SAT continues to be an important tool for assessing students’ academic readiness and potential for success in higher education. 39. What is the passage mainly about?
