The SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) consists of two sections: Evidence-Based Reading & Writing (ERW) and Math. Scores are out of a total of 1600 points. The SAT measures what students learn in high school to determine readiness for college. Students typically take the test in the 11th and 12th grades. Barrow County high schools work with students and advise them on when to test and which test to take.
