What is SAT?

SAT - Scholastic Assessment Test, is one of the exam systems which is quoted worldwide. The system evaluates the academic preparation of the applicant when entering the university. In most universities in the United States, this particular exam is decisive in the selection of applicants. Both local and international students are required to pass the exam if they wish to pursue higher education in the United States.

The general test consists of three parts:

Reading section

Focuses on reading comprehension and understanding vocabulary in context. Passages in this section cover a variety of topics, from U.S. or world literature to historical and scientific passages. This section tests two primary skills:

Command of Evidence: the ability to find concrete evidence within the passage to support the author’s claims or answers to specific questions;

Words in Context: the ability to decipher the meanings of vocabulary words within the context of the passage, and ability to understand how word choice influences the style and tone of a text.

Writing and Language section

Measures the student’s ability to identify and correct grammatical errors and stylistic weaknesses within passages (proofreading and editing skills). This section also involves passages that cover a wide array of topics, including careers, history/social studies, science, and the humanities and measures the following skills: Command of Evidence, Words in Context, Expression of Ideas, Standard English Conventions.

Mathematics

Includes multiple-choice test questions. Performing this part requires knowledge of algebra, geometry, statistics and the basics of the theory of probability, as well as the ability to understand tables, graphs and charts. There are two Math sections: one where the student is allowed to use a calculator and one where he or she is not.

Essay section (optional)
