The SAT®, originally called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States. Developed and administered by the College Board, the SAT® assesses a student's readiness for college and is intended to provide colleges with a common data point that can be used to compare all applicants. Over the years, the SAT® has undergone various changes in its structure, content, and scoring. Regardless of its format, preparation for the SAT® often involves review courses, practice tests, and study guides, as performance on the SAT® can influence college admissions decisions, scholarship opportunities, and more. It's worth noting that the SAT® is just one of many factors that colleges consider during the admissions process. Other factors include high school GPA, extracurricular activities, personal essays, letters of recommendation, and interviews.

In January 2022, the College Board announced changes to the SAT®, transitioning it to a digital format over the coming years. This move came in response to changing educational landscapes and the desire to make the test more accessible and relevant to today's students. The "digital SAT®" refers to this new version of the test, which students take on a computer rather than using pencil and paper. Currently, digital SAT is conducted world over except in the USA, where the new format of the test will make its debut in March, 2024. The digital SAT® comprises two sections: Reading and Writing and Math.

The content on SAT® English is distributed across four domains that are described below:
Number of Questions
Information and Ideas
26% of the questions on the Reading and Writing section are based on texts (not more than 150 words long and including both poems and prose) that test student’s ability to identify the main idea, strengthen or weaken an assertion, find evidence related to a claim, and make valid inferences from text and data (charts and graphs).

Standard English Conventions
This domain constitutes 26% of the questions on the Reading and Writing section. The rules tested under this domain include punctuation, subject verb agreement, pronouns, verb tenses, modifiers, and parallel construction.
20% of the questions on SAT® Reading and Writing sections are distributed across two categories of Transitions and Rhetorical synthesis. Transition words test a student's ability to identify the relationship (such as contrast or cause and effect) between two sentences or two parts of a sentence. Rhetorical synthesis is a new format of questions in which information is presented in the form of notes and students have to identify the relevant piece of information to answer the question.
One can register for the SAT® either online or by mail. Students are advised to create an account on the website of the College Board. The detailed information about registering for the SAT® can be found at https://www.collegeboard.org
The SAT® registration fee is $60. In addition, Indian students (read all international students) need to pay a regional fee of $43. Overall, $103 is the amount that a student in India will have to pay. Please bear in mind that an additional amount of $30 is charged if the student registers after the regular deadline but before the late registration deadline.

SAT® will be conducted seven times a year: March, May, June, August, October, November and December.
The Digital SAT® score will be valid for 5 years from the date the test was taken.
The SAT® exam consists of a total of two sections, namely: • Reading and Writing section • Mathematics section Each section is made up of two modules which have the same number of questions (27 questions in each module of Reading & Writing and 22 questions in each module of Math) to be completed within the same duration of time (32 minutes for each module of Reading & Writing and 35 minutes for each module of Math)
The two sections of the SAT® exam have a total of 98 questions (54 questions distributed across two modules of Reading & Writing and another 44 questions across two modules of Math)
