What is the SAT?
The SAT® is a standardised test that measures mathematical, reading and writing skills of students aspiring to undergo their undergraduate studies in India and abroad. The test has 4 sections – Reading, Writing & Language, Math–No calculator and Math-Calculator. The test intends to aid universities in assessing the potential of applicants for higher education. That is why more than 4000 colleges in US, India and 84 other countries accept SAT scores for admission to their programs. The examination is entirely paper-based and scored on scale from 400 to 1600. However, the SAT® score alone does not guarantee a student’s admission – the test is but one of the many factors taken into consideration during the holistic review of an applicant’s profile.
While undertaking SAT prep, it is important to remember that the test is divided into four sections. These are namely the Reading, Writing and Language, Maths, and an Optional Essay. With a total duration of 3 hours and 45 minutes, students are required to give the exam to the best of their abilities. Our SAT coaching services provide an intensive, comprehensive, economical approach, such that every student is provided with a specialised attention in their test.
Scored out of a total of 1600, a good score is considered that of a 1250+, but that again depends on the university under consideration. Candidates can make an application for this exam online and face no restrictions on the number of times that they can appear for the same. The SAT exam scores are valid for a period of 5 years. The process to attain the scores takes between 17-22 calendar days.
To be able to study undergraduate courses in USA, students are required to meet certain eligibility criteria. One such eligibility criteria includes appearing for the SAT exam. Some of the undergraduate programs in Singapore require SAT but this differs from each university.
During our SAT coaching, we ensure to tap into the thinking ability of the students to efficiently solve problems and communicate, while at the same time look into your basic classroom skills such as Reading, Writing, and Mathematics and how well you apply that knowledge. All of the above-mentioned criteria are assessed in the exam. The SAT is taken by more than two million students every year at thousands of testing centres. There is no negative marking for the revised version of the SAT.
