The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) tests your abilities in three areas: reading, writing and mathematical reasoning. The College Board (www.collegeboard.org) is in charge of SATs, registration, fees, sending of scores, etc. Majority of American colleges and universities require the SAT to be done as part of the application process. Some American schools request subject specific SATs. The general SAT consists of several multiple-choice questions and an essay (optional). The test takes about 4 hours to write and there is a fee to write it (as outlined on the College Board website).

Important Points to Consider Do your research: the onus is on you, the student. Be aware that Cost/Tuition is in US Dollars. A score over 2000 is recommended to be competitive in prestigious American schools such as NYU, USC, Stanford or any of the Ivy League schools. Most students take the SAT in the spring of Grade 11 and again in the fall of Grade 12. Even though you can take the test as many times as you want, taking it too many times may negatively impact your application (The College Board recommends not taking it more than twice). Study! Some students spend months, even years, studying for the SAT. Some college applications also ask students to write SAT Subject Tests. Most schools accept SAT scores up to December of Grade 12 (some schools may accept scores at later dates).
