First of all, SAT no longer stands for Scholastic Aptitude Test, the original name of the test when it was introduced in 1941. Although you may still see that name occasionally, the College Board, the not-for-profit educational association that sponsors the SATs, decided to let the acronym stand on its own as a way of addressing controversy about the meaning of the word "aptitude." The College Board also rejected the alternative "Scholastic Assessment Test." (English teachers probably pointed out that this name was redundant, since assessment means test.)

The SAT Reasoning Test, formerly called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the Scholastic Assessment Test, and the SAT I, is a standardized test for college admissions in the United States. In the U.S., the SAT is administered by the private Educational Testing Service (ETS) and is developed, published, and scored by the College Board.

Scholastic Aptitude Test. Standard Aptitude Test. One of the two I think.

The abbreviation used to mean Scholastic Aptitude Test or Scholastic Assessment Test, but it doesn't really mean much now, I think.
