SAT Prep for University & College
What is the SAT?
The SAT is a standardized test that Canadians and Americans can take that is widely used for university and college admissions in the United States. SAT stands for the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The SAT is a 4 hour exam that tests math, reading, essay writing and intermediate language. Almost every American university and college require individuals to complete the SAT for admission consideration. Admission officers, whom are the people who decide whether you get into university or not, use the SAT as a predictor of your success in university.

Most schools set a minimum cut-off SAT score that the applicant must meet in order to be considered.
