SAT
The SAT Test is taken at KC area-wide test sites and must be registered for ahead of time. Student is responsible for registering for the test. KCCS school code is 171-531.
The SAT Reasoning Test is a measure of the critical thinking skills you'll need for academic success in college. The SAT assesses how well you analyze and solve problems-skills you learned in school that you'll need in college. Subject Tests (formerly SAT II: Subject Tests) are designed to measure your knowledge and skills in particular subject areas, as well as your ability to apply that knowledge. Some colleges specify the Subject Tests they require for admission or placement; others allow applicants to choose which tests to take. Check with the college where you are applying.
The SAT score is used by some colleges/universities as one factor in the admissions process. A student can retake the test many times to improve the scores.

This has been taken from the FAQ's on the selective service website. What happens if there's a draft? There hasn't been a draft since 1973. If there were an emergency sufficient for Congress to order another draft, Selective Service would conduct a birthdate lottery to decide the order in which to call men. Those who turn 20 during that calendar year would be called first in a sequence determined by the lottery. If more men were needed, those 21 to 25 would be called, youngest first.
