PREPARING FOR THE SAT
The SAT is one of the standardized college admissions tests accepted in the United States. In order for any applicants to be considered for the majority of US colleges, they must complete this exam.
Because it is so widely recognized, it is also used at several European universities in lieu of their entrance exams. Such schools include Bocconi University, Bard College Berlin, and Jacobs University Bremen.
The SAT consists of four sections and an optional fifth section. These sections are, in order: Reading, Writing and Language, Math Without Calculator, Math With Calculator, and Essay Writing. The Reading section tests students’ ability to read various texts, ranging from Victorian literature to modern scientific papers, and answer literal and interpretive questions based on those passages. Writing and Language assesses standard English conventions (such as grammar and punctuation) as well as rhetorical analysis. In both Math sections, students are given a mix of multiple choice and grid-in questions ranging in focus from Algebra to Geometry to Trigonometry. The Essay, optional but highly recommended, requires students to write an analytical essay in which they identify and discuss rhetorical techniques used in a given passage.
Overall, the SAT provides colleges and universities with a standardized measuring tool that shows an individual’s strengths and weaknesses in comparison to his or her peers. Understanding the test, how to approach it, and how to study for it is imperative to doing well.
In this regard, AlphaPrep is here to help.
