The SAT, or Scholastic Assessment Test, is a standard exam for international students pursuing undergraduate courses abroad. It is widely recognised as proof of eligibility for international students to pursue their UG degree in countries like the US, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, and Australia.
SAT analyses the candidate's mathematical, reading, and writing skills and helps them in their admission into institutions abroad. Universities can use SAT exam scores for admissions. During the admissions process, the faculty reviews the SAT scores.
