When did the College Board administer the first SAT exam?
June 23, - it was first known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test
The first administration of the SAT occurred on June 23, 1926, when it was known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test. This test, prepared by a committee headed by Princeton psychologist Carl Campbell Brigham, had sections of definitions, arithmetic, classification, artificial language, antonyms, number series, analogies, logical inference, and paragraph reading. It was administered to over 8,000 students at over 300 test centers. Men composed 60% of the test-takers. Slightly over a quarter of males and females applied to Yale University and Smith College. The test was paced rather quickly, test-takers being given only a little over 90 minutes to answer 315 questions.

Poor question. Which College board? Which country? What is the acronym for SAT?

No mention in the question that you were talking about the US.

I got the question right, but some commented that the answer was right under the question. Please tell me where or in what manner it was revealed.
