Line 7:
Possible scores range from 600 to 2400, combining test results from three 800-point sections (math, critical reading, and writing).
The College Board states that the SAT measures literacy and writing skills that are needed for academic success in [[college]]. They state that the SAT assesses how well the test takers analyze and solve problems—skills they learned in school that they will need in college. The SAT is typically taken by [[high school]] [[Tenth grade|sophomores]], [[Eleventh grade|juniors]] and [[Twelfth grade|seniors]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/about/SATI.html |title=Official SAT Reasoning Test page |accessdate=June 2007 |publisher=[[College Board]]}}</ref>
Specifically, the College Board states that use of the SAT in combination with high school grade point average (GPA) provides a better indicator of success in college than high school grades alone, as measured by college freshman [[Grade (education)|GPA]]. Various studies conducted over the lifetime of the SAT show a statistically significant increase in [[correlation]] of high school grades and freshman grades when the SAT is factored in.<ref>[http://www.collegeboard.com/research/pdf/rn10_10755.pdf 01-249.RD.ResNoteRN-10 rv.1<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
