 | Today's SAT I: Reasoning Test is a three-hour test of verbal and mathematical reasoning ability that reflects the latest knowledge of mental measurement and generates scores related to academic success in college. The test is primarily multiple-choice, but each question must pass a series of rigorous statistical and sensitivity reviews before it becomes operational. This year, more than 2.2 million students in the U.S. and 100 foreign countries sent SAT scores to more than 3,000 colleges and universities. Every fall, the College Board publishes demographic, socioeconomic and academic data on 1.1 million high school seniors with SAT scores -- a population about the size of the new freshman class at all four-year institutions.
