SAT is of Reasoning Paper and also Subject paper. The subject paper depends on the subject you want to take up the admission in your Undergraduate programme abroad. SAT exam is for 3 hours and an additional 50 minutes if you also have opted for an essay. Or else it is going to be Mathematics section and Evidence Based Reading and Writing. The higher the SAT score, better are the chances for top Colleges of the US. Because this is a pen and paper mode exam, you have to be real careful. You cannot back to one section and cannot swap between sections. Let's say if you have finished Math section earlier than the allotted time, you cannot move to the next section. And if the time allotted is for Math section, you cannot go to Reading and Writing section.

Maths is divided in to 2 sets of questions where in one can be attempted using a calculator and the other without a calculator. The one with calculator has 20 questions for 25 minutes and the set with calculator has 38 questions with a time limit of 55 minutes. The Evidenced based reading test has 52 questions with a time limit of 65 minutes minimum and Writing and Language test has 44 questions with a minimum time limit of 35 minutes.

For Maths session, a set of formulae and references are provided at the beginning of the test and the questions come from Heart of Algebra, Problem Solving and Data Analysis and Passport to Advance Math. You may also have to practise topics like Area and Volume, Coordinate Geometry and Basic Trigonometry.

One passage from US Founding documents or Great Global Conversation covering topics like freedom, justice and human dignity. Other topics might be on Economics, Psychology, Sociology, etc. 2 passages might be from Work of science.

Dear,

Firstly understand the difference between SAT and IELTS.ELTS tests the proficiency in the English language of a candidate.SAT scores are used as a benchmark for university admission, mainly in the countries of United States, and Canada. It shows the college readiness of a candidate.IELTS scores are used as a benchmark for employment as well as higher education by world-wide corporates as well as universities in the countries UK, USA, Ireland, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. In the US, more than 3000 universities consider IELTS scores for higher education admissions.SAT is an aptitude test which measures four different skillsets- mathematic skill (separately with using calculators as well as without using it), English grammar, and reading & writing proficiency. IELTS is a mandatory test if you are planning to migrate to a country for employment or studies. If you are migrating to work abroad, IELTS is sufficient. But, migrating students who have cleared the SAT also need to have IELTS scores to prove their English language proficiency.

Hope this helps!

I hope it helps.

It is really very tough to predict whether the students will be allowed to travel abroad in recent times or not.

I am not saying that it will be cancelled for lifetime, but looking at cases i don't think they will re-start in the coming 6 to 8 months.

There's good news too as few European countries like Slovenia, Estonia, Montenegro, New-Zealand, Tanzania has been declared free of Covid-19.

All the best!!
