So I might be overthinking, but does SAT stand for something? I thought it was an abbreviation. Anyone mind clearing it up for me? Appreciate any help!
The SAT originally stood for "Scholastic Aptitude Test". But as the test has undergone various modifications over the years, the acronym has been redefined a few times. For a period, it signified "Scholastic Assessment Test". However, today, the SAT doesn't officially stand for anything. It is simply called "the SAT" and is administrated by the College Board. The test primarily focuses on reading, writing, and mathematical skills that are taught in high school and required for college.
