ABOUT THE EXAM

The SAT is offered through the College Board. The SAT has three sections including Mathematics, Verbal Skills and Writing. Each section of the SAT is scored on a scale of 200-800, with a maximum score of 2400. Eastern Oregon University administers only the on-campus SAT. NOTE: While the on-campus version is the same test as the official SAT, it is used only for EOU institutional placement and advising purposes and is not accepted by other institutions. The official SAT can be taken on designated Saturdays at most high schools. Visit Collegeboard.com for national test dates and sites.

REGISTRATION: The on-campus SAT is usually given a few days before the beginning of each term. Your registration form must be filled out in advance and received by Testing Services before 5:00 p.m. on the registration deadline for each test.
