SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test):
|
|
|
The SATs are standardized tests. They are used by most
colleges in the United States to make admission decisions, which means that if you’re an American high-school student,
or if you’re thinking of studying abroad, you’ll need to get a good SAT score. High SAT scores can also help you
get scholarships. The SATs contain questions about mathematics, critical reading, and writing. This makes sense, since math
and English skills are necessary for your education. The SATs are a big milestone in your quest for higher education, so it
is highly important that you study and are well-prepared to write them. This is especially important since colleges get to
see all previous scores, so although you can always retake the SATs, messing up once won’t look good.

services for international students planning to study in the United States, Canada or other countries where English is the
