The entire test, including the optional essay, lasts 3 hours and 50 minutes and is intended to measure literacy, numeracy and writing skills that are required for academic success in college. The intention is to assess how well test-takers analyse and solve problems.
The top score achievable in the main SAT is 1600 points, and admission to the top tier US universities hinges on gaining over 1500 points. Lower ranked universities, whilst still excellent options, will naturally take lower scores.
Our lecturers and Mentors work closely with our students over the programme to ensure they are well-prepared for sitting the SAT test and score as high as possible to increase their university choices.
