Which current
exam takes you 3 hours and 45 minutes of severe mind hogging???? Do we call it
SAT???Let’s have a look at some unknown facts about SAT. SAT
is a paper based test used by colleges of United States at a wider scale. This
test was introduced in the year 1926. Since then several times the nomenclature
have been changed from Scholastic Aptitude test then scholastic assessment
test, SAT reasoning test and finally SAT.
College Board
which is a private non-profit organization in United States owns and publishes
this test. SAP is developed and administered on behalf of College Board by
Educational Testing service.
SAT has
different sections like: Mathematics, Critical reading and writing. Score range
from 600-2400 words. SAT takes place
7 times a year. Isn’t that huge?? So, prepare round the year and give your exam
and get ready to study in US with diverse study as well as student culture.
SAT offers you a highly
lucrative career. There are a number of companies and organizations who are
extending help to SAT prospectors in the form of career Counselling. They offer you online books, journals, test
materials and many more. It has been observed that this career counsellors have
been contributing to student’s success. But if the figures are to be seen then
very few to be true. Mostly this companies want to make money out of this
exams. They incur huge fees and load students with a number of unwanted study
materials which actually make students confuse rather than adding to their
intelligence. And also there are a number of studies which show that SAT does
not require any special coaching or tutoring. One can easily crack SAT by full concentration and presence
of mind.
But most of the
times it has been observed that students are under deep stress and because of
this stress factor they are unable to prioritize their time and work. So, what
they need at this point of time is not rigorous coaching but a dedicated career
counsellor. It may be the case that a student after completing his/her
matriculation is completely confused about which path to choose for higher
studies? He is unable to gauge his area of interest. Thus, in that case if he
gets a truly professional and dedicated career counsellor it will be like a God
sent gift for him. Career counselling
by an experienced counsellor can understand his area of interest and give him
suggestions accordingly.
It may also be
the situation that US College, its study culture is attracting you but once you
step into a US college, you soon realize that you are not at the right place.
US colleges might seem attractive but if it’s not your choice than why to waste
your time??? SAT will lead to US colleges where you can study many new
innovative subjects which are not available in India. So, if your interest lies
in studying those unconventional subjects then only opt for SAT.
Currently SAT is
undergoing some more changes. Students will now be accessed under 1600 points
wherein essay part will be optional and students will get 3 hours and 40
additional minutes for essay only.
