The SAT is a standardized test used for college admissions in the US, Turkey, and other countries. It consists of tests in math, reading, and writing. The math section includes multiple choice and student-produced response questions covering topics like algebra, geometry, and statistics. The reading section focuses on comprehension and vocabulary with questions requiring inference and analysis of passages. The writing section examines grammar through identification and correction of errors, as well as an essay assignment. Additional SAT subject tests are offered in various academic disciplines. Prep courses are available to help students prepare for the SAT exams.
