It was titled the Army Alpha test. Cal Brighman was one of the assistants to Robert Yerkes who after the war utilized this Test for college admissions. Its pilot run which was successfully administered was in the year 1926.
When James Bryant Conant became the President of Harvard in 1933, he made a decision to start a new scholarship program for academically strong boys. Henry Chauncey, the assistant dean was given the task of finding a suitable test. It was after this that Chauncey met Carl Brigham. Chauncey came back to Conant with the idea of SAT exam. In 1938, the recommendation was given to use SAT as a uniform exam but exclusively for scholarship applicants. During the Second World War, SAT became the only test for the applicants as all the other admission tests were abolished. In 1944, the SAT was administered and given by more than 3 lakh candidates on a single day.
