1. Fifty percent
   Sixty percent
2. Seventy percent
   Eighty percent

In 1926, when the first SAT exam was administered, 60 percent of test takers were men. Out of that percentage, 25 percent were applying to Yale.

Around two million Army recruits were given tests created by Carl Bingham, who would later head up a committee at the College Board to create a test which became the SAT. The IQ test had two purposes, with the first being to identify candidates for officer positions, and the other to bolster the statistical evidence for IQ tests.

Harvard University was the first to use the SAT in 1934, as a way to award a scholarship for outstanding public school students. Then, in 1935, Harvard used the test for all its scholarships. By 1939, all Ivy League colleges used the SAT to award scholarships.

The first SAT test looks wildly different than it does today. There were nine sections or subtests of the test, with 315 questions. The test itself took a little under 100 minutes to take.

Over time, the SAT became increasingly taken by more students, the majority of them being from public school. SAT test scores were lowered as a result. So in 1995, the College Board recentered the scores, which improved the chances for students to score higher on the test.

Every year, the SAT is given seven times throughout the year. There are tests given more frequently during the fall, right before college applications are due in January. And out of those tests, four are made public each year.

1. $250,000
   $350,000
2. $475,000
   $750,000

It takes a lot of effort to come up with a new SAT exam. Besides the expense in time, it costs close to $350,000 to create a new one, according to ETS.

   Scholastic Aptitude Test
2. Scholastic Assessment Test
   It has no meaning.

You may be surprised by this answer, since two of the answers, Scholastic Aptitude Test and Scholastic Assessment Test, were true back in the day. Other former names include SAT I: Reasoning Test and SAT Reasoning Test. Now it's just called the SAT.

For the first time, in 2013, ETS canceled an SAT testing session for an entire country, South Korea. Government officials in Seoul had raided tutoring companies which had obtained SAT questions and confirmed ETS's allegations.

Before there was the Princeton Review or Khan Academy, there was Kaplan. Stanley Kaplan started his tutoring service in the basement of his parents' Brooklyn home. Only in the 1970s did he expand his services outside the New York area, and now Kaplan Test Prep is a household name.

1. All of the Above

2. The Answer Is Always C
   The SAT Up

None of the Above was written by Jenny Lyn Bader, and it's about an obnoxious teen and her relationship with an SAT tutor. The play went on Broadway with Alison Pill (famous for HBO TV show, "Newsroom") as the lead.

From 2005 to 2016, the SAT actually had a total of 2400 points because there was an added essay section worth 800 points. Then it went back to 1600 points in 2016.

Each time Eshaghoff fraudulently took the SAT, he earned $2500 and would score in at least the 97th percentile. Ironically, or maybe more poetically, he was sentenced to tutor impoverished students on the SAT.

1. One-eighth of a point
   One-fourth of a point
2. One-half of a point
   One point

Before 2016, it was better to leave answers blank and get zero points than to try to guess. Testers were penalized one-quarter of a point for wrong guessed answers. As of 2016, the guessing penalty was eliminated.

1. 0
   50
2. 100
   200

Sorry, but this is an old myth! On SAT's FAQ, they state theoretically, if you filled out the test without any answers, you'd get 200, but that's only because SAT does not report scores lower than 200. Snopes.com states that due to scaling, a tester with no answers given would get a little above 200 points for each section, so the lowest a tester could get is at least 400. But an empty test would not be reported by SAT and the score would be canceled – so zero is the right answer.

In response to cheating scandals which involved students using fake IDs and taking tests for other students, the SAT required submitting a current photo to register for the test. Then at the testing center, a student needed to show a photo admission ticket or acceptable photo ID which matched the picture submitted at registration. Students also had to confirm which high school their scores, and photos, were to be sent.

1. Princeton Review
   Kaplan Test Prep
2. Harvard University
   Khan Academy

This was one of the many changes which came in 2016 for this standardized test. The College Board wanted to combat the notion that SAT prep was only accessible for those who had a lot of money for test prep courses. So in the spring of 2016, they rolled out free online test prep materials through the Khan Academy.

1. Latin
   French
2. Spanish
   German

Latin may be dead, but it can make your SAT scores come alive with more points. Along with Chinese and Korean, studies have shown that taking Latin can give SAT scores at least a 180-point boost. But studying any foreign language in high school will help improve test scores.

1. Poor
   Very Poor
2. Terrible
   Doubtful

OK, so at least they didn't use the term "Terrible." But the rest of the words were used. On the more favorable side were "Excellent" and "Good."

1. Essay section
   Math section
2. Reading section
   Writing and Language section

The New SAT added an essay section in 2005, which is why there were an added 800 points to the total possible score. Now that section is optional. The math section is further divided into two tests, one that needs no calculator and one that does need a calculator.

1. Four
   Five
2. Seven
   Ten

Along with the three required test sections, and the optional essay section, sometimes test takers are given an extra section of the SAT but the section will not be counted as a part of the tester's score. This is because it's essentially a fake section given to give test questions a test spin in real life. The College Board and ETS will use that information to edit and improve future test questions for future tests.

It takes there hours to take the SAT. The Writing and Language test takes 35 minutes, the Math test takes a total of 80 minutes, and the Reading test takes 65 minutes.

Five dollars back in the early 20th century was still a considerable amount of money. As of this writing, the SAT cost $47 to take, with an additional $10 for the essay. Adjusted for inflation, $5 back then would be close to $150 as of 2017.

Like the SAT itself, the SAT Subject Test has gone through some name changes. In 1937, they were called the Scholarship Tests, but were also known as the Achievement Tests. As of 2005, they were know SAT II: Subject Tests and are occasionally still known by that name.

2. Ancient Greek

Although Latin is one of the 20 subjects you can take an SAT Subject Test on, Greek is now. Most of the tests are based on languages, with the most popular being French and Chinese being a close second.

   Ke$ha
2. President Bill Clinton
   Derek Jeter

Out of the four listed, the women come out on top! Recording artist Ke$ha had a score of 1500 and actress Natalie Portman had a score of at least 1400. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton had a score of 1032 while baseball great Derek Jeter had a score of 1200.

The College Board announced in 2008 that it would make the Score Choice option available to students in the following year, hoping it would ease testing anxiety. When this option became available, some elite schools still required all scores to be submitted, while others let students choose which score they wanted to report and focused on the highest score per section. This is not available for the SAT Subject Tests.

Antonym questions had been on the SAT since 1926. Their removal in 1994 meant test takers cramming for vocabulary had to change their studying tactics. In its place were more reading passages.

It's a bit of a running joke, if someone uses a large word, it can be called an "SAT" word. Now instead of using words like "mendacious," test takers have to understand words used in the context of passages. You should look up the January 2016 press release from the College Board (it's tongue-in-cheek) if you want to see all the belabored language that students now don't have to memorize just for this exam.

2. Reading and Writing section
   Verbal test

The Test of Standard Written English (TSWE) was meant to take the place of a placement exam for college freshmen. It was a 30 minute exam which tested grammar and writing. In 1994, this part of the SAT is dropped and later becomes the SAT Subject Test for writing.

2005 brought some major changes to the SAT, including dropping the verbal analogies which were famous (and infamous) for SAT test takers. Since the first SAT in 1926, analogies had been on the exam. This was a part of a larger revamping the verbal section of the test.
