SAT

The College Board administers the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), a standardized test used by numerous universities worldwide as an admission criterion for undergraduate programs in the USA. In India, the SAT is available four times a year—March, May, October, and December—usually on the first Saturday of these months. Comprising four sections (Reading, Writing and Language, Math, and an Optional Essay), it has a total duration of 2 hours and 14 minutes. Scores range from 400 to 1600, with a score of 1300 or above generally considered strong, although specific requirements can vary by university. SAT scores remain valid for five years, and candidates can choose to retake the test multiple times if necessary.
