The SAT®

A standardized test, the SAT® measures Mathematical, Reading and Writing skills of students aspiring to undergo their undergraduate studies abroad.

Universities in the US, while inviting applications from prospective students, ask for SAT® scores.
The examination is entirely a paper-based Test. The test is scored on a maximum of 1600. The SAT® I score alone cannot guarantee admission into a school - the test is only one of the major factors taken into consideration in the long process of an applicant getting admitted into a graduate school that they desire.
The SAT® has following sections – Mathematics, Reading test and Writing and Language test.
