The SAT is NOT an English or Math test.

​

The SAT is a test of aptitude, the ability to apply learned concepts, skills, techniques, and methods strategically to answer questions within a limited amount of time.

​​

THE BETTER YOUR STRATEGY, THE BETTER YOUR CHANCES OF OBTAINING A HIGHER SCORE.

​

For example, the problems on the math section of the SAT generally do not require operations more complex than addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. However, the problems and questions are framed in challenging ways and require you to quickly develop an understanding of context, parameters, and requirements. Only then can you develop the right strategy to solve the problem. In addition, a lot of candidates resolve to simpler, more mechanical problem-solving approaches which can take considerably longer and increase risk of error.

 

A good strategy is one that:

​

• minimizes risk

• simplifies process and solution

• is generally, but not always, the fastest

​​​

The SAT is not administered every month. Therefore it is critical that your strategy to prepare and succeed must take into consideration when you can sit for the test. This is also crucial when sending test scores to universities in order to make sure that your scores reach them in time to evaluate your admission application fully and to consider you for any scholarships that you may be eligible for. The SAT test is offered in the following months:

 

• MAR

• MAY

• JUN

• AUG

• OCT
