General Information about the SAT

General Information about the SAT

As part of the student’s academic profile, we want to share some key information about the SAT, a test that can play an important role in both the college admissions process and academic scholarship opportunities.

WHAT IS THE SAT?

The SAT is a digital exam that takes about 2 hours and evaluates:
  1. Your English reading and comprehension skills
  2. Your math skills
Although it is taken on a computer, students must go to an official testing center to complete the exam.

While not all universities require the SAT, we recommend taking it to increase admission chances and access academic scholarships. 

TEST DATES (Academic Year 2025–2026)
The SAT is offered on Saturdays at 8:00 AM, and spots are limited, so it's important to register early. Below are the upcoming test dates:
