How Important is the SAT?

It is not understatement that the SAT is the most important test you will ever take in your life. In college admissions, your New SAT and SAT subject test scores count for about 1/3 of your total chances, and GPA counts for about 1/3 also. The last third is made up of extracurriculars and the personal statements (college essays).

In case you missed it the first time, SATs count for as much as your entire GPA. That means ALL the grades you ever got in high school added up! Imagine how much time you spent studying for every test for every class, doing every homework, and add up all that time. That is how much the SAT is worth, and clearly shows how the SAT should not be taken lightly or underestimated.
