SAT: what does it stand for?

Hello everyone! Just a quick question: what does 'SAT' actually stand for? I know it's a big standardized test for college admissions but I wasn't sure about the full name.

a year ago

Hey there! SAT originally stood for Scholastic Aptitude Test, but it has gone through a few name changes over the years. Now, the SAT doesn't technically stand for anything - it's simply called the SAT. It's administered by the College Board and is indeed a major standardized test used in the college admissions process. Hope that clears things up!
