Per Section
The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) is a standardized test used as part of undergraduate admission processes at colleges and universities in the United States and at institutions in other countries. Administered by the College Board, it assesses skills in Reading and Writing and Mathematics.
For students considering undergraduate education abroad, the SAT can be one component of an application strategy. Requirements vary by university and programme, so students should verify current policies with each target institution.
Reading & Writing
Reading comprehension, vocabulary in context, analysis, grammar and effective use of language.
Mathematics
Algebra, advanced mathematics, problem-solving & data analysis, geometry and trigonometry.
University Readiness
A standardized measure that may complement academic records and other application components.
There is no general minimum or maximum age requirement for taking the SAT. Students should select their test date around their academic level, target universities and application deadlines.
