It depends on which country and college you go to. Generally speaking, TOEFL score is above 80 and IELTS score is above 6. SAT depends on the following information: SAT is an aptitude test, which is the so-called "college entrance examination" for American high school students, but whether you can go to a four-year university does not depend on a SAT score. SAT is held by College Board in the United States, 7 times a year in the United States and 6 times a year in other places. The exam is in English. SAT includes three tests: 1, reading: in fact, there are not only reading, but also filling in the blanks, which mainly examines students' ability to read and complete sentences. The main topic types include reading comprehension, paragraph reading and sentence completion. A total of 70 minutes, three small chapters, two chapters of 25 minutes each and one chapter of 20 minutes. 2. Mathematics: Examining various mathematical calculation and thinking abilities. The main topic types include multiple-choice questions that choose one of the five options and answers that need to fill in the step flow. A total of 70 minutes, three small chapters, two chapters of 25 minutes each and one chapter of 20 minutes. 3. Writing: To examine students' writing ability, the main types of questions are multiple-choice questions and a short essay. Multiple choice questions are mainly about picking mistakes and so on to see if you can improve your sentences and articles. A paper needs a beginning and an end, and has its own opinions. A total of 60 minutes, two small chapters, 35 minutes for multiple-choice chapter and 25 minutes for writing part. Each SAT test has a full score of 800 points, and you can get 200 points by writing a name, with a total score of 2400 points, starting with 25 minutes of composition. There is still a part of the SAT that is not scored, 25 minutes, which may be any of the three parts, but I won't tell you in advance, so you must complete all the parts. This non-scoring part is generally to find a standard for future questions. The SAT originated from Harvard and was originally a pure intelligence test. From 65438 to 0934, Harvard University used SAT to select scholarship applicants. The following year, Harvard University extended this exam to all students who applied for Harvard University. 1948, the Education Examination Service Center (ETS) with Conant as the first chairman was established, and ETS, as the organizer of the university Council, provided college entrance examination services. Since then, SAT scores have become one of the most basic admission requirements for most universities. Basic Introduction SAT is the abbreviation of English Scholastic Assessment Test, and its Chinese name is scholastic assessment test, which is organized by ETS headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, USA. SAT scores are an important reference for high school students from all over the world to apply for study and scholarships in famous American universities. At present, high school students want to apply for top universities in the United States. In addition to providing TOEFL and other language proficiency test scores, 90% schools require reference to students' SAT scores, because this is the only score that American universities can get that can compare students' abilities in different regions and schools. It is almost impossible for high school students in China to be admitted to the top 100 universities in the United States if they only have TOEFL scores. In addition, the SAT score is also a decisive factor to determine whether high school students in China can apply for scholarships. Therefore, we can approximately understand that SAT is the national college entrance examination in the United States. (The admission methods in American universities are also different from those in China. It is not comprehensive to simply understand the American college entrance examination. When evaluating whether a student should be admitted to an American university, the proportion of SAT scores generally does not exceed 50%. Generally, schools that are not particularly ranked in the top explicitly put forward that Chinese mainland without SAT test sites is not required to provide SAT scores. Therefore, it is not impossible to apply for a low-ranking school without the SAT. But having a SAT score is definitely much better than not having one. Under the same circumstances, students with SAT scores are given priority. More than 2 million high school students in the United States take the SAT every year. It is an exam that almost all American universities, especially Ivy League universities, recognize and require applicants to provide scores. It is an important reference index for deciding admission and evaluating scholarship issuance. Therefore, in 2005, nearly 2,000 high school students in China took the exam, and this number is still exploding year by year. SAT test is divided into two parts: reasoning test SATⅱ (subject test. SAT 1 mainly tests candidates' writing, reading and math abilities; SAT2 involves mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. Students in China usually choose three subjects: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Generally, high school students in China can apply for admission to American undergraduate schools only by taking the SAT Ⅰ I exam. Compared with TOEFL, SAT is not a language test, but it is a unified test all over the world, including American high school students, so it is much more difficult to learn words than TOEFL. Especially after the reform of SAT in March 2005, the new writing part is a test of students' pure English language ability, which is beyond TOEFL and IELTS. Therefore, it is a big mistake for China students to understand SAT only as language-based reasoning and special tests. On the contrary, it requires a higher language level than TOEFL. SAT I scores are required by all universities, which means that only when the SAT I scores reach a certain standard can you have a chance to enter the university. The score of SATⅱⅱ depends on the requirements of relevant institutions, and it will be accepted only after passing. The college entrance examination for American students starts from the first year of high school. Because the SAT is not directly related to high school textbooks, it mainly tests students' logical, analytical and reasoning abilities. There are seven opportunities to take the SAT every year. And each grade is valid for two years. Students can take any exam according to their actual situation, and they can choose the most satisfactory results to send to the university. Having SAT scores will greatly increase the chances of admission. SAT scores enable China high school students to enter the same admission platform as American students. SAT scores tell American universities that you are excellent in a language recognized by them. A good SAT score shows that your intelligence and academic performance are better than those of the applicants, including students in the United States and around the world. Harvard, Yale, Princeton and other famous universities admit almost all freshmen with high SAT scores every year. However, the United States pays attention to personal qualities, and universities choose students not only to look at SAT scores, but also to incorporate other skills into admission requirements. For example, Harvard University rejects many students with full SAT scores every year on the grounds that their "comprehensive quality" is not enough. Because there are not many students taking the SAT in China at present, SAT scores can also make you stand out among domestic applicants. Judging from the situation, the SAT will be a compulsory subject for senior high school students in China, so the earlier the exam, the better. Therefore, the SAT helps to apply for scholarships. The tuition and living expenses of American schools are as high as tens of thousands of dollars every year, so scholarships are very important for China students. Proving your excellent SAT scores is an important condition for applying for scholarships. In addition, it is also a necessary condition for applying for an honorary scholarship during college study after admission. SAT is very important for American employment. Many large American companies require candidates to provide SAT scores when recruiting employees. Why is this high school grade so important? Because it represents your intellectual quality, whether you are smart enough and whether you have enough potential.

You can apply for up to 3 subjects on an examination day. On the day of the exam, you can take the exam by selecting the submitted subject answer sheet. Calculation method of score To understand the calculation method of SAT score, we must first introduce two basic concepts: original score and relative score percentage. The score of each question on the SAT is equal. No matter how difficult the topic is, the score of each SAT question is equal. Get one point for answering a SAT question correctly; Deduct 1/4 points for answering the wrong SAT question; No answer, no penalty. Original grade: the number of correct questions multiplied by 1, minus the number of wrong questions multiplied by 1/4, equals the original grade. Relative score percentage: Statistics of the original score and relative score percentage of candidates in the same exam. SAT score: map the original score to a table of 200 to 800 in relative proportion. The content of each exam is different, so it is difficult to evaluate the scores of the two exams with the original scores. The percentage of relative scores obtained by this statistical method can tell the relative level of each student of college admissions staff. For example, reading: in a SAT test, the best original score of 1% is 67 points (67 questions); Another SAT test, the best original score of 1% was 66 (67 questions). Then according to the original score, 67 points is better than 66 points. This is obviously unreasonable. Therefore, according to a correspondence, it is practical to map the original score between 200 and 800. The new SAT started in May, 2005. The SAT is divided into three parts: English, writing and mathematics. 800 points for each part, totaling 2400 points. Previously, the SAT consisted of only two parts, English and Mathematics, with 800 points for each part, totaling 1.600 points. Since the SAT now includes the writing part, the original "SAT2 Writing Test" was cancelled. In addition to the writing part, some slightly more difficult algebra problems have been added to the math part. Of course, it will not increase or decrease. For example, change the boring antonym vocabulary to make it easier to read and fill in the blanks. On the surface, SAT reform is more difficult, longer and more content. In fact, if we consider that because of the addition of the writing part, the university that originally required SAT2 writing will no longer require SAT2 writing. Many universities will require two SAT2 test scores. Moreover, in this way, Asians have to work hard on writing. Perhaps, in the long run, this reform is a good thing for Asians as a whole. Since May, 2005, in order to enter American universities for undergraduate studies, students in the second and third years of middle school must take the new SAT. Exam content The SAT I exam includes two parts: the reasoning exam of SAT I and the subject exam of SAT II. The examination time is three hours and forty-five minutes, and the topic is multiple-choice questions and writing. It mainly tests the reading, mathematics and writing abilities of candidates, with a full score of 2400. SAT II (Subject Test) lasts for one hour, mostly multiple-choice questions, and mainly examines the knowledge of a certain major of candidates. Optional SAT II subjects include mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and foreign languages (including Chinese, Japanese, German, French and Spanish). Students should apply according to the requirements of various majors and schools. The following mainly introduces the main points of the SAT exam: writing 60 minutes) assessment content 60 minutes: grammar, idioms, vocabulary selection: multiple-choice questions (35 minutes); Writing (25 minutes) score: 200-800 Critical reading time: 70 minutes (divided into two 25 minutes and one 20 minutes) Assessment content: Reading ability assessment method: Reading comprehension, complete sentence and paragraph reading comprehension score: 200-800 Math part time: 70 minutes (divided into two 25 minutes and one 20 minutes) Assessment content: There will be a 25-minute no-score section in each exam. The purpose of excluding grades is to design future test questions and so on. The non-hierarchical part can be any of these three parts. Subject analysis reading mathematics writing additional questions minimum score 200 200 200 maximum score 800 800 total time (minutes) 70 70 60 time allocation 2 25 minutes part 2 25 minutes part 35 minutes multiple choice questions part 1 20 minutes part 1 20 minutes part. According to the official questions given by College Board, the 25-minute essay questions are as follows: 54 questions in the math section, including 44 multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions 10. Contents include: integers and fractions; Algebra, geometry, statistics, probability; Quantitative analysis of 67 questions in the reading section: complete 19 sentences and read 48 paragraphs. Reading the article involves 49 questions and a short essay in the writing of natural science, humanities, social science and literary novels: 18 sentences are wrong, 25 sentences are changed, 6 paragraphs are changed, and a short essay is written. Many options include correcting mistakes and rewriting sentences and paragraphs. Composition type: argumentative, with arguments and examples (composition score: 2-12; Multiple choice question score: 20-80) A total of 170 questions, one composition. The additional part is not a grade and cannot be distinguished from other normal parts. The length of time is 25 minutes. The additional part can be any other part except writing and 10 multiple-choice questions. It is best not to guess which part is not an additional part of the grade. Because ETS will design the additional part to be no different from the normal part. What's the difference between SAT and TOEFL? -sat tests intelligence; TOEFL test language; TOEFL is an English proficiency test for students from non-English-speaking countries who apply to go to universities or graduate schools in the United States or Canada. In short, TOEFL tests students' language ability, while SAT tests students' logical reasoning ability. Entering an undergraduate college is not only a hard rule, but also a standard for American society to measure whether a person is "smart". The significance of taking the SAT goes far beyond the study itself, and it is also the embodiment of personal thinking ability. The following is the SAT teacher's experience in preparing for the exam with the highest score of 2320 and the composition score of 1 1, for your reference when preparing for the exam in advance: SAT, I will say the vocabulary first: 1, not to remember all the words that have appeared in the SAT exam, but to remember the words that I often take. Because if you want to remember all the words, the result is often that you don't remember all the words in the end, and the memory process is easy to hit confidence. Therefore, the best preparation for SAT vocabulary is not a very general vocabulary book, but a targeted SAT high-frequency vocabulary book; 2.SAT words need to be treated differently. For example, the vocabulary problem of critical reading only prepares words, and it is not necessary to remember the complete spelling and meaning, but only vaguely. The meanings of the five options in the vocabulary problem are very different, so you can solve the problem as long as you know the basic meaning of the word. This can greatly improve the efficiency of vocabulary memory. 3. Memory method recommends the associative memory method of root affixes. After a large number of English words, it will naturally be found that English is not a simple random combination of 26 letters, but has radicals similar to Chinese characters, which only become root affixes in English. Memorizing words with root affixes can get twice the result with half the effort and make rapid progress. More importantly, even if you encounter words you haven't memorized in the examination room, you won't be at a loss. Constant should change, this is the most powerful method. Say the vocabulary first. Let's talk about these basic methods first. About reading: first of all, vocabulary is the foundation; Then, we should have correct reading habits or problem-solving procedures to save limited time as much as possible; When solving specific problems, do not solve them in order, but accurately grasp the "problem eye". As long as you can catch the eye of the question, SAT reading will break through like bamboo, just like pulling a thread, and all the knots will be opened. Therefore, teachers often tell students that SAT reading is a "paper tiger". It is common for teachers' students to get more than 650 points in the SAT reading section, provided, of course, that the students study hard. This single teacher's requirement for students is 650-700 points. Grammar and grammar questions are even more "paper tigers". It seems to be a long sentence, and there are many new words. In fact, mistakes or frequent exams are often common grammar mistakes. The teacher suggested that students should be good at summing up and discovering mistakes, and then review the old and learn new things. The requirement of this single teacher for students is 800 points. As for the first step in writing, the examination of questions is the key. A considerable proportion of senior high school students' English argumentative essays are actually digressions, which is a problem that teachers often find in the teaching process of SAT and IELTS for many years. Even students with a good English foundation often make such mistakes. On the basis of ensuring that the topic stays on the topic, the teacher asks the students to accumulate details such as writing materials, common reasons, writing vocabulary, writing sentence patterns and so on. The teacher's students once got a high score of 1 1 in writing. The teacher's requirements for students in this single item are 10- 1 1. This single item must get a high score, because the importance of this single item lies not only in SAT scores, but also in applying for articles. About mathematics, this is something that teachers disdain to talk about in class, because the students they tutor every year are excellent students who want to sprint the world's top universities after getting high marks under the guidance of teachers. In this single preparation, the teacher only gave the students one sentence: the math test is actually not math, but English, because as long as you understand the topic or translate it into Chinese, the math on the SAT is actually advanced mental arithmetic. Of course, this single teacher's requirement for students is 800 points. In fact, students think that math is very simple and there is plenty of time. Even if they only check it once, they will always get 780 points because they are not careful enough. The teacher's method is easy to learn, because the teacher thinks that the difficult method must be useless. Because the exam is so tight and the time is so limited, how can students remember the steps and types of so many complicated methods? Simple methods, coupled with repeated practice by students with real questions fed back by teachers in the past, are natural for students to get high marks smoothly. SAT teachers teach in small classes with five students throughout the whole process, accurately grasp the students' foundation and learning progress, not only pay attention to individual breakthroughs, but also consider the improvement of total scores. SAT II First of all, the subject selection of SAT II: It is recommended to choose Math II (if you study liberal arts and other majors that don't require much math, if you are not good at math, choose the easier Math I), physics and chemistry, because these three subjects are relatively familiar to China students; Biology needs to remember too many professional words, which are long and difficult to remember, and are not recommended; Students who study liberal arts can try history if their English is good. According to the teacher's student feedback, world history is relatively easier than American history. Then, prepare SAT II. The preparation for SAT II is divided into two stages: the first is to understand the questions, and the second is to do the questions with understanding. Generally speaking, as long as you understand the questions, there should be no problem with SAT II. So SAT II is first and foremost a question of language and professional vocabulary. When this problem is solved, most students should have no problem. The next question is just to find some exercises to familiarize yourself with the topic. Teachers here provide free copies of all SAT II textbooks, and students only need to borrow the textbooks themselves and return them after copying. If the problem lies in the second stage, students can extract the knowledge points that they often make mistakes or can't, and find an experienced teacher to answer questions. You don't need to attend the full SAT II course at all, which is both expensive and time-consuming.
