SAT Tests: What You Need To Know
Colleges and Universities in the United States require applicants to submit scores from a standardized admission test. The SAT is a widely used College admission test in the USA.
The SAT is a mostly multiple-choice test that assesses students’ critical and problem-solving abilities based on the knowledge they have developed throughout their school experience.
SAT scores help Colleges and Universities make informed admissions decisions by providing one indicator of a student's academic readiness to do University-level work. Basically, test scores help Colleges and Universities estimate how well you are likely to do when you reach University level.
SAT® Test
The SAT Reasoning Test measures your critical thinking skills by assessing how well you analyse and solve problems. The total testing time is three hours and 45 minutes.
The SAT Reasoning Test includes three sections:
1. Critical Reading: Multiple-choice questions.
2. Mathematical Reasoning: Multiple-choice questions and student-produced responses.
3. Writing: Multiple-choice questions and essay.
SAT Subject Test
Many Colleges and Universities require or recommend one or more SAT Subject Tests for admission or placement. They help Colleges and Universities compare the academic achievement of students from different schools where course preparation and acedemic backgrounds may vary widely.
SAT Subject Tests are one-hour multiple-choice tests that measure how much you know about a particular academic subject and how well you can apply that knowledge. Subject Tests fall into five subject areas: English, History, Mathematics, Sciences and Languages.
