About the SAT®

The SAT is an American admissions test administered by the College Board and administered by most US universities and some European universities, such as ESADE. It has the same equivalence as the Spanish EBAU, although the structure and content are different.

The current SAT is completely digital and consists of two qualified sections —Reading and writing and Math—, each divided into two timed modulesThe exam uses a design adaptive in stages (multistage): Your performance in the first module of each section determines the combination of difficulties you will see in the second module.

The SAT result along with other required documents; Baccalaureate notes, letter of recommendation, cover letter and interviews are very important requirements when it comes to being admitted. The higher the SAT score, the more option to choose a good university.

The SAT exam does not assess the knowledge you have acquired in high school during high school, but rather your future learning ability.

Why is it important to have a good score on the SAT?

Athletic scholarships. If you want to obtain athletic scholarships in the USA, a high SAT score is essential, as both the NCAA and NAIA consider it as a requirement when selecting an athlete. These athletic scholarships are awarded by the coaches of each university team, who decide the percentage awarded to each player, and can be full scholarships, based on each athlete's individual characteristics.
Obtaining academic scholarships. The most important requirements for obtaining academic scholarships in the United States are achieving good results on the SAT and TOEFL exams, as well as a high school grade point average.

You will work in two modules consisting of short texts (25–150 words), each followed by a Multiple-choice question. The texts come from literature, history/social sciences, humanities, and science. The questions assess four domains:

• Craft and Structure
• Information and Ideas
• Standard English Conventions
• Expression of Ideas

Questions that measure similar skills are grouped together to reduce context switching, and you can navigate within each module until time runs out.

Time and format: 2 modules of 32 minutes. 64 minutes in total; 54 questions (27 per module).

The Math section also has two modules that combine multiple-choice questions with responses produced by the student (enter the numerical result). The content covers four domains:

• Algebra
• Advanced math (e.g., quadratics, exponentials, polynomials, rational/radical expressions)
• Problem solving and data analysis
• Geometry and trigonometry

HE allows calculator throughout the section. You can use the integrated graphing calculator in Bluebook or bring an approved physical calculator. The app provides a formula sheet.

Time and format: 2 modules of 35 minutes. 70 minutes in total; 44 questions (22 per module).

• Total score: of 400 to 1600, sum of two section scores.
• Scores per section: Reading and writing from 200–800; Math from 200–800.
• From successes to scale: your raw score is the number of correct answers; is converted to the scale of 200–800. There is no penalty for incorrect answers., so it is advisable to answer all the questions.
