What is SAT Exam?

• English (reading and writing) and
• Math.

The digital SAT Suite will utilize a multistage adaptive testing (MST) methodology. Adaptive testing has been used for large-scale digital standardized assessments for nearly 40 years. 

Figure 1: Digital SAT Suite Multistage Adaptive Testing Model

In a multistage adaptive SAT Suite test, each test section (Reading and Writing; Math) is divided into two equal-length and separately timed stages, each composed of a module of questions.
As illustrated in Figure 1,
Module 1: Students begin each test section by answering the set of questions in the first module. This module contains a broad mix of easy, medium, and hard questions that allows students to demonstrate their achievement before moving on to the second module.
Module 2: The questions in this second module are broadly targeted to the test taker’s achievement level based on how they perform in the first module; questions are either (on average) higher difficulty or lower difficulty than questions in the first module. This means that the test “adapts” to present questions that are more appropriate to a student’s performance level.

First, the Student attempts the Reading and Writing section. A ten-minute break is given before the start of the Math section.
SAT is scored in the interval 400 – 1600, in 10 points increments.

• Exam fee is 103 US dollars (excluding bank service charge and tax).
• You can register for the exam without your passport.
• However, passport is the only valid identification document on the exam day.
• The deadline for registration is 15 days before the test date. However, seats fill up quickly. Thus, it is the responsibility of the student to register for the test well in advance of the deadline. You can contact the coordinator for the registration.
• It is best you manage your own device. In case you fail to manage your own device, you need to borrow a device from College Board by registering and requesting a device earlier than the registration deadline-at least 30 days before test day—to allow time for international shipping.
• Each time you register to take the SAT, you can send four score reports for free. You can designate your score recipients at the time you register for the test. You can also designate the recipients up to nine days after the test.
• After that, there's a fee of 14 dollars per recipient.
