Is there
anything else I should know?
The level of material
corresponds to a standard grade 12 level. Note that since
the test is used by colleges and universities all over the
United States, international students writing the SATs
should generally not be at a disadvantage in terms of
material. (One small exception is the fact that US happens
to dislike the metric system, Celsius, and other logical
measurement units, so you may have to brush up on that. They
also tend to spell things differently, like color and colour).
Be aware that the SATs
contain 10 sections- 3 of each of the 3 topics, and one
unscored section, which is used to ensure the test is
objective (you wont know which section is unscored, so you
will have to write 10 sections). The first and last sections
are never unscored though, and the first section always
contains the essay question.
