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.

• Go to CollegeBoard’s online registration page to start making an account

• You must pick up an SAT Registration Booklet, which is available at your school counselor’s office. The Registration Form and return envelope are included in the SAT Registration Booklet. For here, you can mail in your cheque of the fee as well as your registration.
• The address provided if you have lost the return envelope ..

College Board SAT Program
901 South 42^nd Street
Mount Vernon, IL 62864

To register as a standby, be sure to:

• Fill

  out the Registration Form completely and be sure to fill in the oval
  for the standby fee in item 18; otherwise, your scores will be delayed.

• Include
  payment for the test fee, plus the additional standby fee. Payment must
  be in the form of a check, money order, or credit card (American
  Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa). Do not enclose cash. Checks
  and money orders should be made payable to “The College Board.”
  Insufficient payment will cause your scores to be delayed.
• Enclose the completed form and proper payment together in the envelope provided and seal it.
• Place the appropriate label showing the test month on the envelope.
• Bring the sealed envelope to the test center and give it to the supervisor when you check in.
• Bring an acceptable photo ID.

SAT Structure :

SAT consists of three major sections: Mathematics, Critical Reading, and Writing. Each section receives a score on the scale of 200-800. All scores are multiples of 10. Total scores are calculated by adding up scores of the three sections. The SAT is made up of multiple choice questions including verbal and mathematics, and the entire exam lasts approximately four hours.

Eligibility :
