The SAT Is a 3-hour test of both verbal and mathematical abilities which is
used as part of the process for evaluating applicants for admission to American
universities. In 1995, the College Board, which administers the SAT, re-
centered the scoring scale for the test. It did so by re-establishing the original
average score of 500 on the 200-800 scale. The scale had not been adjusted
since 1941, when it reflected the norm of some 10,000 students, frequently
from public schools and applying to the nation's most selective universities.
