SAT

The Scholastic Assessment Test, commonly known as SAT, is a standardised test widely used for undergraduate admissions in universities across the United States and several other countries worldwide. The exam is conducted by the College Board, a non-profit organisation based in the United States. The SAT is recognised as one of the most important standardised tests for international students seeking admission to American colleges and universities, as well as students within the United States. The Scholastic Assessment Test is an undergraduate-level entrance examination that assesses students' readiness for college-level academic work. The test is scored on a scale of 400 to 1600, combining scores from two main sections: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) and Mathematics. Top universities that accept SAT scores include Harvard University; Yale University; Stanford University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); Princeton University; Columbia University; University of California campuses; Duke University; and hundreds of other institutions across multiple countries. The SAT serves as a common criterion that colleges and universities use to evaluate applicants from diverse educational backgrounds. Through this exam, students can demonstrate their analytical, critical reading, mathematical, and writing skills. The test is offered multiple times throughout the year at testing centres in over 200 countries, making it accessible to students worldwide. Many institutions also use SAT scores for scholarship decisions and course placement.
