What is SAT?
SAT Test Information
The SAT Reasoning Test is a common entry criteria for undergraduate programs in the US and Singapore. Competitive programs may require you to submit SAT Subject Test scores as well.
a) SAT Reasoning Test
The SAT Reasoning Test consists mostly of multiple choice questions; there is 1 essay and a handful of student-produced responses. The test duration is three hours and forty-five minutes (excluding breaks) and costs U$71 for students testing outside of the US. The test is available 6 times per year: Jan, May, Jun, Oct, Nov and Dec.
The SAT score is calculated by combining test results from three 800-point sections (Math, Critical reading and Writing), culminating in a total score of 600 - 2400 points. Scores are valid for 5 years. Our students mostly score 1900 and above!
b) SAT Subject Test
Subject Tests (formerly known as SAT II) are 60-minute multiple choice exams designed to measure knowledge and skills in particular subject areas such as English, history, mathematics, science and language.
Students can take up to three SAT Subject Tests on the same day. However, students cannot take the SAT Reasoning and SAT Subject Tests on the same SAT date. The SAT Subject Tests are usually offered on the same day as the SAT Reasoning Test. Test fee ranges from US$55 to US$66 for students testing outside the US.
Each individual test is scored on a scale of 200 to 800. Scores are valid for 5 years. Our students mostly score above 650!
