Beacause Americans are too lazy to learn something interesting in a classroom and are always playing video games all day long and watching too much garbage on TV!!!! I for one was born here in the U.S. know what part of the world a country is located and I'm bilingual so that makes me smarter than the one-dimensional, one language American that wants to be ignorant and dumb. Most Americans don't even know how to read a gas gauge on a car when it runs out empty on them.

SAT tests on English and math. SAT II tests on a single subject, such as languages, english, math, science, or history.

it depends on the discipline many times they have to take test to see if you learned the same things that people in the US did.  Like doctors if you go to medical school in another country you have to take a test here for your degree to be accepted.  If you are going to college in the US from another country you  have to take two test one is to see if you know what you need to know and one is to see if your English is good enough that you can understand a teacher in a class room

The SAT does a fairly good job of predicting how well students will do in the first year of college.  Whether that matters--college is usually 4 years and then there is a lifetime of work ahead of you after that--is another story.  But there is some value to the SAT in figuring out whether you developed any real analysis skills while you were in high school.\n\nBut the real answer to your question is that if you want to go to college, the SAT matters simply because the colleges say it does.  Just like grades and recommendations, the SAT doesn't mean everything, but if you want to get admitted, it means quite a bit.

I believe 100% of schools in U.S require SAT or ACT scores for admission except community colleges, if you're a native speaker you may be admitted without these scores but require to take extra courses with pass/fail grade like advance reading, writing before taking composition courses.

That is honestly a good question!! \n\nYour very correct in your statement. Americans are too lazy to go vote!! Hopefully all of America has learned the lesson of staying home on election day. \n\nBecause when less than half of ALL Americans show up to vote, we get a President like George W. Bush and a congress like the congress we have....and so on.... \n\nAnd we can't make this mistake ever again!!\n\nWhat we as a country have become, we are not about, and have never been about..

There is a $36.50 standby fee plus the regular Sat fees. With just the SAT Reasoning Test and no frills the total would be $78.

People are lazy and indifferent. Chatrooms certainly don't help.\n\nI'm from England, and I think it's ridiculous that I'm tested on English by a bunch of Americans (the SAT, the Regents, the GRE). I'm also sick of professors correcting me when I spell "defence" with a "c" or "speciality" with an "i."\n\nThose words are SUPPOSED to be spelled that way, you dumb college professors!\n\nI don't have a problem with Americans spelling "speciality" without an "i" or "colour" without a "u," but don't expect me to do the same.

I hope if they failed they would not be allowed to retake it. Why, because they obviously did not take the citizen test seriously enough to study. It's not like you have a week to study. It takes years to be a citizen. \n\nPass the test in English or leave!

Most people typically take the SAT in their junior year of high school.  I wouldn't take it before then, but there are some great SAT practice books on the market that I would suggest.  The best ones are done by the College Board, since they actually create the test.  You can get study guides, books with real SATs from past years, and lots of other good finds.  Check out www.amazon.com or your local bookstore.

Congratulations on your entrance to the U.S.\n\nFor help with the SAT, go to your local library and speak with the reference clerk/librarian.\n\nGood Luck!

They're all Ability to Benefit tests that schools use to gauge their applicants' scholastic aptitude (and/or their readiness for higher education).\n\nThe SAT is probably the most widely-used of the ones you mention -- most schools will take it and many schools won't take anything else, which is why so many students go this route first.  Your school will determine which tests they accept and might be able to give you recommendations as to which one(s) they prefer.  You probably won't want to go take a test before knowing that they accept it.
