Next week is a big week as we prepare for MME testing, which includes the SAT, ACT Work Keys, and M-step for all juniors and PSAT 9 and PSAT 10 for freshman and sophomores. The SAT is a standardized exam that serves as a crucial benchmark in the college admissions process. It assesses students' readiness for college-level work and is used by colleges and universities across the country as a key factor in admissions decisions. However, beyond its role in college admissions, the SAT offers several benefits that contribute to students' overall academic growth and success.
