SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) is used to evaluate the readiness of students for college admissions. This standardized test was initially developed by the ETS (Educational Testing Service) a body that still administers the test, but now days SAT is owned and developed by a non-profit organization College Board. Nearly every college in US takes SAT as a common scale for evaluating student’s readiness for college admissions. It has become the part of the admission process. Along with SAT score admission committees consider high school grade, essays, recommendations and other relevant information in offering places on their undergraduate courses as a criteria for college admissions.

Students can enroll in SAT test in month of January, March (except international students), May, June, October, November and December. Many Students usually take the SAT during junior (grade 11) or senior year (grade 12). But students need to plan and prepare themselves for SAT well ahead to achieve good score in test. They should register themselves well ahead in time so that they can repeat the test if necessary. For preparation students need time to practice questions and at least three months to prepare the test. Many students who are brilliant in studies have often found scoring average scores. Reason is simply lack of smart techniques to optimize efficiency. Although in SAT test the skills developed in high school are tested, but for good score students need proper coaching to nourish their skills.
