What is the SAT?
The abbreviation stands for Scholastic Aptitude Test or Scholastic Assessment Test. The SAT is a test that is conducted in accordance with international standards and assesses the knowledge and skills of foreigners in English and mathematics. Its results allow applicants from other countries to enter universities and colleges in the United States of America, Japan, Finland, Singapore, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and Turkey. The tasks of the SAT exam are designed in such a way that they help examiners assess the readiness of foreigners to study abroad.
The SAT exam procedure is designed for about 2 hours, its list of tasks includes two main sections: reading and writing + mathematics. Most of the questions are composed in a test answer format, where you need to choose the right one from a set. The maximum number of points for the SAT, the tasks of which are solved 100% correctly, is 1600.
From 2024, the SAT exam is taken in a digital format (online, digital), so paper and handwritten forms are a thing of the past. Now foreigners on the SAT exam can solve tasks on their own laptops and tablets, which they bring with them to the exam center, unless they first need to install the Bluebook application on the devices. If the examinee does not have his own equipment, the test organizers will provide him with a computer for the duration of the SAT exam.
Other changes to the SAT exam procedure since last year:
- You can use the calculator to solve all the tasks from the math block.
- Foreigners receive summing up and sending the results with scores and detailed comments a few days after the SAT exam.
In 2025, the SAT exam can be taken regularly in the United States, and in other countries - 1 time every 2 months.

How is the SAT different from other international language tests?
The main difference between the SAT exam and other international tests is that the main task of the examiners is to check the readiness of foreigners to study at foreign universities. Knowledge of English and mathematics is also important, but first of all, the examiners look at the general erudition and preparedness of foreign students.
What are SAT courses for?
- For better preparation for the SAT exam. The creators of SAT courses help foreigners work through each test block of the exam as thoroughly and efficiently as possible. Students are provided with the most up-to-date and understandable materials, all the options for tasks and topics that may be covered in the SAT exam are worked out with them.
- To develop a personal test strategy. Instructors in the courses help students create a contingency plan β for example, if they come across topics on a test that they haven't covered beforehand. The test strategy allows you to minimize the number of incorrect answers and increase the level of confidence of a foreigner in his own knowledge.
- To "decide" the samples with further assessment and comments from teachers. Foreigners on the courses can not only solve the SAT exam (trial version), but also receive feedback on their answers from experienced teachers who will check and analyze them. This helps both teachers and students assess the level of preparation for the SAT: tasks from each block and as a whole.
- To receive psychological help and support from professionals. Preparation for the SAT exam is not just a set of topics and template tasks, it is also a study of the psychological state of a foreigner who may worry about the exam procedure itself, as a result of which his results may be worse than the real levels of his knowledge and training.
Why is it better to take SAT courses abroad?
Taking SAT courses abroad is recommended for several reasons:
- Only this format gives foreigners a complete immersion in the language environment of native English speakers, and this allows foreigners to better assimilate educational materials and understand the English language as a whole.
- In 2025, it is impossible to take the SAT exam in Russia, so studying at SAT courses abroad allows foreigners not to waste time traveling to another country twice. A student can complete the SAT course, solve the trial options and proceed to take the exam itself immediately in another country.
- American organizers of SAT courses learn about all changes in the exam procedure faster than teachers in other countries, and have the most up-to-date information.
- By studying useful materials for the SAT, exam options and other features of the procedure in courses abroad, foreigners can get on an "excursion" to the exam centers in order to visually assess the situation and get used to it.
- Preparing for the SAT exam in English and Mathematics abroad at American and other English-speaking universities can add points to a foreign applicant when applying to this institution (or a partner institution).
