SAT test in spain is the only test used in many english language universities or to enter some majors. For example.. to study computer science in the university of murcia UMU the SAT is required with a score of 1500 minimum. To study medicine in barcelona the SAT is required along side the regular spain college entrance exam. The only other country to do that is israel.
@ Nerd271: Agh! I was previously using the logo with the College Board 'acorn' logo attached (which I believe is above the threshold of originality), but later removed it to just use the SAT logo. For some reason, though, I still thought it was non-free. Thanks for catching that! Tol ( talk | contribs) @ 20:21, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
I've just added some information about the switch to the digital format, which started outside the U.S. in March of 2023 and will probably be in use in States starting March 9, 2024. Since the digital test takes an hour less to do than the paper-based one, it will soon be necessary to modify mentions of the duration of the test (two hours instead of three) in other parts of the article.

Nerd271 is insisting that this article include the following:
Pinker has no expertise in college admissions so I fail to see how his opinion is WP:DUE. Nerd271 insists that "But he is a psychologist and a university professor. He is well inside academia." but being a psychologist and a professor doesn't make one an expert on admissions. If I'm incorrect and he does have a substantive background in admissions, please accept my apologies. But simply working at an organization, especially one as complex as a modern, Western-style college or university, doesn't give someone significant expertise in any of its specific, complex processes (except for the specific processes in which one has worked, of course!).

I will keep editing the article the way I choose. Your objection lies in what you think of holistic admissions rather than with what might be wrong with it from the perspective of students, parents, and faculty members. I will find more information on this topic and include it as appropriate. Nerd271 ( talk) 00:32, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
