Dear Ayushi Agrawal,
The SAT Reasoning Test is a standardized test for college admissions in the United States. Nearly every college in America accepts the SAT or Subject Tests as a part of its admissions process. That''s why more than two million students take the SAT every year. Today''s SAT is divided into two categories: SAT Reasoning Test, and, SAT Subjects Tests. SAT is held 6 times in a year: May, June, October, November, December and January. Most colleges require the SAT - Reasoning Test for admission and many other schools require both the SAT - Reasoning Test and SAT - Subject Test for admission purposes or placement. Additionally, some colleges require specific Subject Test tests while others allow you to choose which tests you take. So it is always better to check directly with the school. There are three ways to register for the SAT Examination.

Secondly, you’ll have to fill in a parent or guardian’s information. This requires mostly name and contact information.
