SAT Program
The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT®)
The SAT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions across the world. The SAT is wholly owned, developed, and published by the College Board, a private, not-for-profit organization in the United States. The test is intended to assess students’ readiness for college.
Global Passport
The SAT is globally recognized and widely accepted by universities in the United States and almost 70 countries worldwide, including India.
Put Achievements in Context
Wide variations in curricular standards, grading systems, and course offerings make the SAT critical in contextualizing the achievement of international students.
Strengthen University Applications
Universities review academic accomplishments to ensure that a student is academically ready for study and graduation from their university. The SAT can help students stand out in the application process, including to universities that are test optional.
If a student is studying at a school/country where English is not the primary language of instruction, university admission officers may use the SAT to confirm that a student can complete their degree in English.
