SAT is a College Entrance Examination and is a requisite to get admission in Colleges in USA and Canada. Besides the SAT scores the admission officer also considers other factors like high school grades and courses, work experience, application essays, leadership qualities, the admission interview and ethnic background. The SAT is offered every year in October, November, December, January, March or April, May, and June. The Education Testing Services offers the SAT dates seven times a year. Usually the day of examination falls on a Saturday.

Structure of the SAT Test:

The SAT has eight types of questions in sections on Critical Reading, Writing and Mathematics. You have 3 hrs and 45 mins to complete the SAT.
The SAT also includes a variable section in critical reading, writing or mathematics for which 25 min is allotted. The variable section is used to help make sure that your scores are comparable to scores on other editions of the SAT. This variable section will not count toward your final score. Still, because you won’t know which section is the variable, you need to do your best on the entire test.
