SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test).
The SAT predicts how students will perform academically as college freshmen, and as a single, standardized means of comparison, helps college admissions officers make acceptance decisions. The SAT has seven sections – three math sections covering arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and a miscellaneous category that includes probability, data interpretation, counting, and logical analysis; three verbal sections covering analogies, sentence completions, and critical reading; plus a “wild card” section of either math or verbal that doesn’t count.

SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test).
The SSAT is the required admissions test for hundreds of independent schools. It offers two tests, a lower-level test, grades 5 through 7, and an upper-level test, grades 8 through 11. It predicts how well students will perform in school, and is used as an admissions and placement tool. The SSAT measures verbal, math and reading comprehension.
SAT II.
The SAT II are subject tests, one-hour, mostly multiple-choice, that measure how much students know about a particular academic subject and how well they can apply that knowledge. Many colleges require or recommend one or more of the Subject Tests for admission or placement. They provide a dependable measure of academic achievement and are a predictor of future performance. There are 22 subject tests offered including: Writing, Literature, History, Math, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and various language proficiency tests.

If answered correctly, the computer will raise the score and then give a more difficult question. If answered incorrectly, the score will decrease and an easier question will be given. The process repeats for each question in the section, to arrive at a final score for that section.
