All About SAT
The SAT is a standardized test used by most colleges and universities to make admissions decisions. The SAT is a multiple-choice, pencil-and-paper test created and administered by the College Board.
The purpose of the SAT is to measure a high school student’s readiness for college, and provide colleges with one common data point that can be used to compare all applicants. College admissions officers will review standardized test scores alongside your high school CGPA, the classes you took in high school, letters of recommendation from teachers or mentors, extracurricular activities, admissions interviews, and personal essays. How important SAT scores are in the college application process varies from school to school.
Overall, the higher you score on the SAT, the more options for attending and paying for college will be available to you.
SAT in India: Nearly 35 universities in India now accept the SAT score for admissions and scholarships for varied programs and the list is growing. Indian Global Higher Education Alliance founded by College Board is in partnership with Indian universities to simplify the admission process for Indian students and offer SAT fee waivers.

This is due to the wonderful training given by Manya. Teachers who are always ready to help, staff who are always ready to make you feel comfortable, facilities that make you want to be there all the time - Manya has everything needed to make the SAT journey an incredible one for every student. I thank my trainers, Harini ma'am(math) and Raji ma'am(verbal), for their support and fantastic teaching. I have never enjoyed math or english more. And it was these small things that ultimately made me get a 1500+ score.

Enrolling in Princeton review set the right preparation path for me.. From the very beginning, Hemanathan sir and Usha mam knew exactly what my weak points were and helped me improve them. They taught me all the content needed to take the SAT, as well as tips, tricks, and shortcuts to use on exam day. The supplementary Princeton review text books were extremely useful as well, as they helped me master concepts using drills and exercises. The Princeton review website itself had 30 practice tests (or something close to that number), so I had ample practice before the actual test day. It was my teachers help, strategies, and constant feedback that helped me reach my target score on my first try.

The constant testing helped me strengthen my weak areas, and the feedback sessions, especially those for math, were very helpful. I would also like to thank the faculty and management at Manya for providing such a wonderful environment for learning. Every day I would come home with a new concept in my head and a smile on my face. Thank you so very much !

It will be an understatement if I said that Princeton Review is just an institute where I took SAT classes. Really I had never explored the possibility of studying abroad and considered it merely as a dream. However at Princeton Review I saw the possibility of that dream becoming a reality. My teachers not only gave me the very vital tips and tricks that helped me through my SAT, but also motivated me throughout my time there. Not being an exceptional student yet getting offered scholarship from ten universities from USA including Stony Brook, Florida tech and Washington University are all courtesy my teachers at Princeton Review. Finally I would once again like to thank the trainers for their consistent help even outside class. None of this would have been possible without them.

I remember getting only 1480 in the diagnostic test which eventually increased to 1560 in the actual test, aII thanks to rigorous practice and regular doubt clearing sessions. In Reading, I was particularly benefited by the passage-marking techniques while in Math my problems in statistics and probability were also resolved satisfactorily. The regular tests also gave a feel of the real examination and were useful.

Digital SAT FAQ's
How much does it cost to take the SAT exam?
The registration cost for taking the SAT in India is US$104.
Can I take the SAT as many times as I want? or is there a limit?
Students can take the SAT as many times as they want, however, recommended is twice or thrice.
Can I cancel my SAT scores?
“Yes. If you feel you didn’t do well on the SAT you can cancel the test. In the test center, you can ask the test co-ordinator for a request to cancel the test scores form, complete it, sign and return the form to the test coordinator. If you want to cancel the test after leaving the test center, download the request to cancel the test scores form from the college board site. The completed form should be sent to the address given on the college board site. The form should not be submitted through phone or e-mail. Refer the link for more details, https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/scores/canceling-scores”
How much high school math do I need before I can start preparing for the SAT?
“Most of the topics in the SAT Math are covered in class 9 or 10. A few topics would be new for the student which can be learnt in our SAT course.”
What is the procedure to register for the SAT?
Steps to register for the SAT:
1. Sign in to your free College Board account. If you do not have an account on the College Board, create a new account.
2. Provide your full, legal name and other identifying information. Make sure it’s the exact same name and information shown on your photo ID.
3. Decide if you want to answer other questions about yourself. This takes time, but it’s worth it if you want colleges and scholarship organizations to find you. Learn why you should opt in to Student Search Service®.
4. Upload a photo that meets very specific photo requirements.
5. Check out by making the payment and print your Admission Ticket.
What is the right time to prepare for the SAT?
For Indian students, the ideal time to start the SAT preparation would be after 10th-grade board exams. Students will be a little free for at least the next three months after completing the 10th exams before they get packed with 11th and 12th-grade school tasks. Most of the topics tested in the SAT are covered in the 10th class, so it is neither too early nor too late. Students will also get time for 2nd or 3rd attempt if required.
Does the SAT need coaching?
A majority of international students who take the SAT typically enroll in coaching. Coaching facilities will show you how to read questions so that you may choose an answer that is more certain to be correct. They will also help you with time management, grade your essays, and identify your weak areas. However, rather than the number of hours you spend receiving coaching, your performance will be more influenced by the effort and practice you put forth. Take as many practice exams as you can, and try to answer every question. Work diligently on the questions you frequently get wrong.
What is the SAT 2022 eligibility criteria?
Since there are no specific requirements for taking the SAT exam, anyone may take it. Students typically take the SAT exam in their 10th or 11th grade in order to use their results when applying to study abroad for their college degree.
What is the registration fee for SAT 2022?
The SAT Exam in India has a registration fee that must be paid, just like other competitive tests. Let’s break down the examination fee for this test so that everyone who plans to take it can understand it.
The SAT exam costs $55 [4,081 INR]. The additional non-US regional fee for Indian applicants is $49 [INR 3600], making the total exam expense for Indian citizens $104 [INR 7700].
Candidates must pay an extra price of $26 [INR 1,900] per subject for the SAT subject test.
What is the validity of SAT score?
Despite the fact that the SAT’s general validity has no time limit, certain universities impose one, after which you might not be allowed to apply for the course with your current results and may need to repeat the SAT.
The College Board increased the maximum score to 1600 in 2016 and removed the need for the SAT essay part. The candidate’s abilities and skills are put to the test by the continually shifting pattern and section scores. As a result, most universities accept SAT scores that are valid for up to five years. You can still apply to select universities even if your SAT score is more than five years old.
How can one send SAT scores to colleges?
The SAT test result is an evidence that you are college-ready. The SAT exam results must be sent to colleges after you’ve taken it. The majority of universities demand an authentic SAT score report submitted directly from The College Board, which administers the test.
- When you register for the SAT, sign up to send SAT scores for free.
From the day you register to up to nine days after your SAT test date, you can ask to have four FREE score reports sent to you at any time.Â
- For a fee, send SAT score reports following your test.
There is a $12 price to mail a score report after the nine-day deadline has elapsed, unless you qualify for a SAT fee waiver.
- Request an expedited order for the SAT.
You recently added a college to your application list; do you urgently need to send your test results? For an extra charge, you can request a rush order, which will have your results forwarded to institutions in 2 to 4 business days.
What is the difference between SAT and ACT?
The fact that the ACT has a science portion and the SAT does not is one of the key distinctions between the two exams. The SAT does include certain other portions that assess scientific knowledge, but unlike the ACT, it does not contain a separate science section.
