Result Oriented Courses - SAT

The SAT is a standardized, multiple-choice test used by most U.S. colleges and universities for admissions and placement decisions. SAT scores can also be used to determine scholarship eligibility. The test is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and given nationally seven times a year (October, November, December, January, March or April, May, and June).

Exam format
The SAT is a seven-section, three-hour exam. Three of the sections are Verbal, three are Math, and one is experimental.

Verbal	Analogies (19 Questions) these questions measure your knowledge of the meanings of words and your ability to see a relationship between a pair of words and to recognize a similar or parallel relationship. Sentence completions (19 questions) these measure your knowledge of the meanings of words and your ability to understand how the parts of a sentence logically fit together. Critical reading (40 questions) these measure your ability to read and think carefully about a single passage or pair of related passages.
Math	The Math section contains 3 types of math questions. Five-choice multiple-choice (35 questions) Four-choice multiple-choice (15 questions that focus on the concepts of equalities, inequalities and estimation) Student-produced response (10 questions that have no answer choices provided)
Experimental	The experimental section, used by ETS strictly for its own research, can be either Verbal or Math and is not counted toward your final score.

The seven sections appear in a slightly different order every time the SAT is administered.

Scores
You will receive two scores on the SAT, one for Math and one for Verbal. Each subject is scored on a scale of 200 to 800. The national average is approximately 500 in each subject (1000 combined). However, most competitive colleges look for significantly higher scores.
