Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)

The SAT (technically known as the SAT I) is a general test of verbal and quantitative
reasoning accepted and required for admission to a bachelor degree program in a US
university or college. The test is required for admission to undergraduate programs of most
US universities. Many universities also require you to take SAT-II tests.
The SAT is a three-hour test that measures verbal and mathematical reasoning skills
students have developed over time and skills they need to be successful in college. Many
colleges and universities use the SAT as one indicator among others-class rank, high school
GPA, extracurricular activities, personal essay, and teacher recommendations-of a student's
readiness to do college-level work. SAT scores are compared with the scores of other
applicants, and the accepted scores at an institution, and can be used as a basis for
awarding merit-based financial aid.
SAT is administered seven times a year in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and U.S. Territories, and six
times a year overseas.

Collegeboard has the provision of reporting your SAT scores to a maximum of four
universities of your choice, the cost of which is built into the SAT fee you pay. You have to
mention the universities to which you want to send the scores in the SAT application form.

universities you’re finally going to apply, based on the score that you expect to attain. For
reporting to each additional university, the Collegeboard charges you $6.50 (approx. Rs.
280), payable by an international credit card or a dollar denominated draft.

The Scoring Pattern in SAT Top

The SAT results comprise three different scores : a total score (400-1600), a separate score

Most students take the SAT during their junior or senior year in high school. At least half of all students take the SAT
twice — in the spring of their junior year and in the fall of their senior year. Most students also improve their score the
second time around.
For the SAT Subject Tests™, most students take them toward the end of their junior year or at the beginning of their
senior year. In general, you should take tests such as World History, Biology E/M, Chemistry or Physics as soon as
possible after completing the course in the subject. Students tend to do better on other tests like languages after at
least two years of study.
Print All Plans

Select a grade level

• Freshman
• Sophomore
• Junior
• Senior

Freshman Year
1. Create a high school plan
• Make sure you know what high school courses are required by colleges and that you´re taking the right classes
starting this year.
• Get to know the levels of courses offered by your school.

2. Take challenging classes

You should take at least five solid academic classes every semester. These usually include classes in English (language
arts), math, science, social studies, foreign languages and the arts. Try to take advantage of honors and other higher-
level courses to challenge yourself.

3. Learn about the SAT Subject Tests

Although most students take SAT Subject Tests beginning in their junior year, there are some tests that you should
take as soon as possible after taking the subjects — courses, for example: World History, Biology E/M, Chemistry and
Physics.

4. Read and write as much as you can

Go beyond your reading and writing assignments in school. Reading books and magazines, keeping a journal or
blogging can help you improve your writing skills, reading comprehension and vocabulary.

Sophomore Year
1. Explore the Advanced Placement Program® (AP®)
Try out college-level work, improve your abilities, and, with the right grades, maybe even receive college credit. More
than 3,000 higher education institutions award credit based on AP Exam grades. Learn more about the AP
Program.

2. Ask if the PSAT/NMSQT® is offered to 10th-graders

 While it’s usually given in the 11th grade, the PSAT/NMSQT is also often offered in the 10th grade. By taking it this
year, you’ll receive a score report to help you improve your performance on next year’s exams.

3. Think about taking the SAT Subject Tests

Are you taking any courses this year that are related to an SAT Subject Test? For some subjects, it’s best to take
those exams at the end of the year, while the material is still fresh in your mind.

4. Keep up your participation in school activities or volunteer efforts

Extracurricular activities can help you develop time-management skills, expand your horizons and find what you are
passionate about doing.

Junior Year
1. Take the PSAT/NMSQT
Sign up for the test, which is given in October. Taking the PSAT/NMSQT is the best way to get ready for the SAT.

2. Plan for spring tests

You can take either the SAT or up to three SAT Subject Tests on one test day. Plan your testing schedule carefully if
you want to take both types of tests.

3. Get ready for the SAT

• Visit the SAT Practice section to take free practice questions and a free full-length official practice test.
• Be sure to sign up for The Official SAT Question of the Day for daily practice.
• Use the access code on your PSAT/NMSQT score report to sign into My College Quickstart. With this personalized
planning kit, you can prepare for the SAT using a study plan based on your PSAT/NMSQT results.
4. Take the SAT
5. Send scores to colleges and scholarship programs
If you know which schools you'd like to receive your scores, then consider sending them in the spring of your junior
year. Colleges see this as a sign of interest and may use scores to qualify you for special campus visits programs,
information sessions in your hometown or for scholarships.

Senior Year
1. Take the SAT again?
If you plan on taking the SAT again, the beginning of senior year is the best time. Research shows that students
who take the SAT a second time usually improve their score.

2. Improve your performance

• Use My SAT Online Score Report to review your strengths and areas for improvement
• Visit SAT Skills Insight to understand the skills needed to take you to the next level
• Visit the SAT Practice section and be sure to sign up for The Official SAT Question of the Day for daily
practice.

3. Take SAT Subject Tests™

SAT Subject Tests measure your knowledge of a particular subject. If you continue to study the subject and take the
test again, your score should reflect your increased knowledge.
4. Send scores to colleges and scholarship programs
Many colleges and universities have application deadlines in December or January of your senior year. If you haven’t
sent your scores to any institutions or if you would like to send more score reports, now is the time.

The SAT is a globally recognized college admission test that lets you show colleges what you know and how well you
can apply that knowledge. It tests your knowledge of reading, writing and math — subjects that are taught every day
in high school classrooms. Most students take the SAT during their junior or senior year of high school, and almost all
colleges and universities use the SAT to make admission decisions.
Taking the SAT is the first step in finding the right college for you — the place where you can further develop your
skills and pursue your passions. But SAT scores are just one of many factors that colleges consider when making their
admission decisions. High school grades are also very important. In fact, the combination of high school grades and
SAT scores is the best predictor of your academic success in college.

More Questions?
How is the SAT related to the College Board?
The College Board is a not-for-profit education organization dedicated to helping students discover their path to
higher education. Our programs strive to provide every student with an opportunity to go to college and the tools to
succeed there.
The SAT is one of the College Board’s best-known programs. In keeping with the College Board’s mission, the SAT
provides an equal opportunity for all students to show what they’ve learned in school and how they apply that
knowledge.
How is the SAT scored?
Each section of your SAT (critical reading, mathematics and writing) will be scored on a 200- to 800-point scale, for a
possible total of 2400. You’ll also get two “subscores” on the writing section: a multiple-choice score from 20 to 80,
and an essay score from 2 to 12.
But how do you get these scores? Two steps happen before you see a final score.
First, we figure out your raw score by:
• Adding points for correct answers.
• Subtracting a fraction of a point for wrong answers.
Remember: Questions that you skipped don’t count either for or against your score, and points aren’t taken away for
wrong answers on the math questions where you needed to fill the answers in a grid.
Then we take your raw score and turn it into a scaled score. This is where the score of 200–800 points comes from,
and it is done through a statistical process called “equating.” This process makes it possible to compare your score
with the scores of other students who took alternative versions of the test, and to your own scores on previous tests.
Visit How the SAT Is Scored to see exactly how your score gets calculated.
Why take the SAT?
As the nation’s most widely used college admission test, the SAT is the first step toward higher education for students
of all backgrounds. It’s taken by more than two million students every year and is accepted by virtually all colleges
and universities.
There are a number of reasons to take the SAT, but here are some of the best:

It tests what you already know.

The SAT tests the reading, writing and mathematics skills that you learn in school and that are critical for success in
college and beyond.

It’s fair to everyone.

The questions are thoroughly researched and tested to make sure students from all backgrounds have an equal chance
to succeed.

It’s more than just a test.

The SAT also provides the opportunity for you to connect to scholarship opportunities, place out of certain college
courses and learn more about your academic strengths.
How much time will I have to take the SAT?
The SAT is made up of 10 sections:
• A 25-minute essay
• Six 25-minute sections (mathematics, critical reading and writing)
• Two 20-minute sections (mathematics, critical reading and writing)
• A 10-minute multiple-choice writing section
Total test time: 3 hours and 45 minutes
You’ll also get three short breaks during the testing, so don’t forget to bring a snack!
• See what test day is like
• What to bring on test day
Testing accommodations are available for students with a documented need. Learn more
aboutaccommodations like extra time.
When should I take the SAT?
Most students take the SAT during the spring of their junior year of high school. Many students choose to take the
SAT a second time in the fall of their senior year after becoming familiar with the test day experience.
How many times should I take the SAT?
Most students take the SAT once or twice. We don’t recommend taking it more than twice because there’s no evidence
that taking the SAT multiple times significantly changes your score.
What is the “unscored” section?
Each SAT exam includes an extra 25-minute critical reading, mathematics or writing multiple-choice section that
doesn’t count toward your score.
This section is where we try out new questions to make sure that future exams are fair for students from different
backgrounds. It also helps us make sure that scores from students taking future exams can be compared to scores
from students who took earlier versions of the test.

The subject tests are designed to test the ability of an applicant to apply the knowledge that he / she has acquired
during school education (high school or equivalent of US education etc. / 12 years of schooling from any Indian
board / University).

The tests do not match any particular textbook or method of instruction. The tests' content evolves to reflect up to
date trends in high school curriculum or 10 + 2 school curriculum, but the types of questions vary a bit from year
to year.

Several colleges use the Subject Tests like English, history, mathematics, science and language for admission, for
course placement and to advise students about course selection. SAT subject tests are used in amalgamation with
other background information (e.g. high school i.e. 10+2 record, scores from other tests like the SAT Reasoning
Test, teacher recommendations, etc.). These tests provide a dependable measure of candidate’s academic
triumph and are a good forward planner of the future performance.

Some colleges specify the Subject Tests they require for admission or placement; others give the free hand to the
applicants to choose which tests to take.

Important:

Students can take up to three SAT Subject Tests on a single test date. Students cannot take the SAT Subject Tests
and the SAT Reasoning Test during the same test administration.

Students must indicate which Subject Tests they plan to take when they register for a test. However, they can
change which tests they take up on the test date — except for Language Tests with Listening.

Students may use a calculator for the Subject Tests in Mathematics Level 1 and Mathematics Level 2. Both the
Subject Test in Mathematics Level 1 and the Subject Test in Mathematics Level 2 have some questions that
require the use of at least a scientific calculator. Students can take these tests without using a calculator, but it
may put them at a disadvantage.
