College entrance exams are standardized tests used by universities and colleges to assess a student's academic readiness for college-level work. The two most common college entrance exams are the SATS (Scholastic Aptitude Test) and the BOARDS (Advanced Placement Exams). The SATS are a three-hour exam that tests a student's knowledge in math, reading, and writing. The BOARDS are a series of exams that cover a variety of topics such as history, science, and language. Both exams are used to determine a student's eligibility for college admission.
