The SAT® (Scholastic Aptitude Test) is designed to assess a candidate’s verbal, written, and mathematical skills. This test plays a crucial role in helping overseas universities evaluate applicants’ potential for admission. If you’re aiming to pursue undergraduate studies abroad, understanding the SAT® is essential.
Each section of the SAT® has its own scoring scale, and candidates must answer the questions thoughtfully. Below are the section-wise details, including time allocation, number of questions, and their respective marks for students’ convenience.
You can register for the SAT® online or via mail (only if there is a special consideration).
The cost of the test ranges from US$52.50 to US$101.50, depending on your location. For Indian students, the fee is US$96.50, or US$113.50 with the essay option.
