Detailed explanation-1: -The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) that high school students take during their senior year is a good example of a multiple aptitude test.
Detailed explanation-2: -The SAT is more of an aptitude test, testing reasoning and verbal abilities. Colleges will accept either the SAT or ACT.
Detailed explanation-3: -The SAT was originally designed as an aptitude test. It tests your reasoning and verbal abilities, not necessarily what you’ve learned in school. The SAT was supposed to be a test that one could not study for because studying does not change one’s aptitude. The ACT, on the other hand, is an achievement test.
Detailed explanation-4: -Aptitudes are natural talents, special abilities for doing, or learning to do, certain kinds of things easily and quickly. They have little to do with knowledge or culture, or education, or even interests. They have to do with heredity. Musical talent and artistic talent are examples of such aptitudes.
