About SAT (Scholastic
Assessment Test) Exam

The SAT is a standardized test that measures a student's knowledge of math, reading, and writing, as well as their college readiness. It is a widely used exam for college admissions in the United States and around the world.

The SAT is scored on a scale of 400-1600, with 200-800 points for the EBRW section and 200-800 points for the Math section. A score of 1000 is considered average, while a score above 1200 is considered good. Students must register for the SAT in advance, either online or by mail.

Algebra:

Algebra measures the ability to analyze, fluently solve, and create linear equations and inequalities as well as analyze and fluently solve equations and systems of equations using multiple techniques.

Advanced Math :

Advanced Math focuses on the math you'll need to pursue further study in disciplines such as science or economics and for career opportunities in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering, and math. The Advanced Math area measures skills and knowledge central for progression to more advanced math courses, including demonstrating an understanding of absolute value, quadratic, exponential, polynomial, rational, radical, and other nonlinear equations.

Problem-Solving and Data Analysis:

Problem-Solving and Data Analysis measures the ability to apply quantitative reasoning about ratios, rates, and proportional relationships; understand and apply unit rate; and analyze and interpret one- and two-variable data. This group of skills is about being quantitatively literate and demonstrating a command of the math that resonates throughout college courses, career training programs, and everyday life.

Geometry and Trigonometry:

Geometry and Trigonometry measure the ability to solve problems that focus on the following: Area and volume formulas, Lines, angles, and triangles, Right triangles and trigonometry, Circles
