Scores on the SAT range from 400 to 1,600, combining test results from two 800-point sections: mathematics, and critical reading and writing. Invented by Princeton psychologist Dr. Carl Brigham, it is used to assess students' readiness for college
On June 23, 1926, the SAT was administered to high school students for the first time. 8,040 American high school students simultaneously pondered which of six words were "most closely related" and which numbers "come next" in a certain sequence. Test takers had only a little over 90 minutes to answer 315 questions. Aimed to test innate ability rather than quality of high school education, the SAT culminated two decades of experiments assessing intelligence that also produced the IQ test.

I got 16 out of 16!
Great work! These tough words have baffled many SAT test takers but not you.
Share this quiz with your friends and see how many of these difficult words they know!
16/16. But these words would have baffled me too back when I took the SAT over 40 years ago. I’ve learned quite a lot since then it seems.
What did you get on your sats if you do not mind me asking?
16/16 I noticed community hero that vocabulary is less popular than geography!!!
