After Graduation…
Academic Options in Canada and the US
What is the SAT?
The SAT I is a standardized examination designed to measure students’ abilities
in three areas: reading, writing, and mathematical reasoning. Many American
colleges and universities, including the most prestigious, consider SAT scores an
important factor in judging the quality of applicants.
American schools care about SATs because it provides a level playing field for
applicants to demonstrate their abilities. The SAT is 3 hours and 45 minutes long.
It is composed of 10 sections. To register go to the College Board website at
collegeboard.org
The ACT test— Previously known as ‘American College Testing’ is a college admissions
and placement test taken by more than 1.6 million high school graduates every year.
