What is the SAT and why is it important?
The SAT comes from the Educational Testing Service (ETS), which is contracted by The College Board to create the test.
The SAT is just one factor in the admissions decision. Schools also consider your high school GPA, academic transcript,
letters of recommendation, interviews and personal essays. The weight placed on SAT scores varies from school to school.
Most colleges and universities will accept the ACT in lieu of the SAT.
For more specific information on the importance of SAT scores at the schools you're interested in, contact your
International Admissions Counselor directly.
What specifically does the SAT test?
There are 3 SAT sections–Math, Critical Reading, and Writing. The Writing section includes an essay, which–unlike the
ACT - is not optional. Start to finish, the test will take you 3 hours and 45 minutes.
How is the SAT scored?
Each section is scored on a 200 to 800 point scale, making the "perfect" score 2400.
