SAT Test Prep

What should I know?

The SAT Reasoning Test is a standardized exam that many of the undergraduate college and university programs within the United States require their applicants to take. It is used in order to determine whether or not an individual has the basic knowledge necessary in order to succeed in a college program.

The SAT test is comprised of three primary sections: a critical reading section, a mathematics section, and a writing section.

Even though the SAT test is one of the most commonly used exams for college admissions, not every undergraduate program requires it. Certain programs and universities may require other admission tests for acceptance into academic programs instead of, or in addition to, the SAT.

The SAT Test:

Consists of 10 separately timed sections:

Three sections test critical reading

(70 minutes total)

Three sections test mathematics

(70 minutes total)

Three sections test writing
