When do I have to start preparing for the exam? As the SAT is unlike any other examination you have taken before, you are advised to begin preparation at least four months before the exam no matter how advanced your language skills are. This will give you the chance to enhance your reading skills, practice writing essays and perfect your grammar. The ideal time to sit the SAT examination is in 11th grade – so think about using that as a timeline target.
How many times can I take the exam? It is advised that you take the SAT examination 2-3 times to ensure the best possible results, but no more as Universities will not be impressed if you have taken the exam more than 3 times. However, there is no restriction as to how many times you can sit the examination.
How do I register for the SAT exam? In order to register and book an examination date, you must visit the Collegeboard’s website and create an account. Select the date you wish to apply for and follow the steps. Be sure to have a credit/debit card and your passport or identity card handy as you will need them. You must also have a recent photograph on your pc/phone/tablet in order to upload when the time comes.
What is the SAT point scale? The SAT is out of 1600. There are 2 main sections: Mathematics and Verbal (Reading section and Writing & Language Sections). Each is out of a maximum 800. The essay is scored separately and has not effect on your score out of 1600.
How long is the exam? The SAT examination lasts for 3 hours and 45 minutes, but can last up to 4 hours with the breaks included.
