SATThe SAT, or Scholastic Aptitude Test, is the more famous of the two college entrance tests - the other being the ACT. The SAT is a mostly multiple-choice test designed to benchmark students' level of academic attainment against their peers, and an SAT (or ACT) score is one of the key factors that admissions advisors take into consideration when making decisions about applicants. Students are tested on a range of skills, including editing, writing, reading comprehension, quantitative skills, and data analysis. There are four sections to the test: two of Reading and Writing (English), and two of Math. The four section scores are then grouped into two section scores out of 800 - Math, and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, giving a final score out of 1600. Read more about the SAT...

GRE and GMAT
The GRE and GMAT are the most commonly required standardised tests for postgraduate study in the US. The GMAT is generally used for business school applications, and it tests students on their Verbal and Quantitative Skills (each scored out of 60 and combined on a scale out of 800), Integrated Reasoning (scored out of 8) and Analytical Writing (scored out of 6). The GMAT focuses in particular on analytical thinking and critical reasoning skills, and for that reason we generally recommend it for science and mathematics graduates. The GRE is more commonly required for other postgraduate courses but in recent years, business schools have accepted GRE scores as well as the GMAT. The GRE also assesses candidates in Verbal and Quantitative sections (each scored out of 170), and has an Analytical Writing section with two essays (scored out of 6). Because of the extra essay and the focus on vocabulary and text interpretation, we generally recommend the GRE for humanities graduates. Read more about the
