The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) Reasoning Test is a standardized test intended to assess a student’s readiness for university education. The questions are designed to measure the test takers’ literacy, writing skills, and problem solving abilities - essential elements needed for academic success in university education. It is a requirement for admission to a vast majority of universities in the United States. 

Effective from March 2016, the SAT syllabus had gone through a tremendous change. For the new SAT syllabus, there are two parts to the SAT exam system, which are SAT I and SAT II respectively. In terms of nomenclature, SAT I is named the Reasoning Test and SAT II are named the Subject Tests. 

 

SAT I Reasoning Test is composed of three major components: Critical Reading, Math and Writing. First of all, the critical reading part contains a reading comprehension, sentence completion segment and critical reading segment. Moving on, the math compartment would contain three major sections, named Algebra and Functions, Geometry Statistics and Probability & Data Analysis respectively. Finally, the writing section consists of two segments - the essay segment and two multiple choice segments. 

​

In addition to SAT I, there is also the SAT II Subject Test. Even though SAT II is considered optional by the exam board, however, most students would consider taking 2-3 subjects for college admission, prerequisites or a measure of their academic achievement. Students are allowed to choose subjects which fall into the following categories: 

• English 

• History 

• Science 

• Mathematics 

• Foreign Languages
