SAT® I
Information
on availability of the SAT in Iraq will
be coming soon. Read below for general
information about the SAT.
The
SAT I is designed to measure a secondary
school student's reasoning skills. It is
a requirement for applicants to some, but
not all, U.S. and international universities.
The SAT I is made up of multiple-choice
questions that measure mathematical and
verbal reasoning abilities.
Most
AMIDEAST offices maintain a supply of SAT Registration Bulletins and Taking the SAT I bulletins. If you are not in a country where AMIDEAST has an office, please
visit your high school guidance counselor
or local advising office to obtain a bulletin.
The
SAT I is offered several times a year with
registration deadlines approximately two
months before the test date. The SAT I
is administered on those dates in a paper-based
format. Stand-by registration is possible
if space and materials are available.
Students
who wish to take the test in a country
where AMIDEAST has an office may register
for the SAT I at most AMIDEAST offices.
Other candidates should refer to the SAT
bulletin to register by fax or mail. You
may also register on-line using a credit card.
It
is important for you to be familiar with
the kinds of questions asked on the SAT
I. There are several ways to prepare.

forfeit your test fees.

Bring your test confirmation information.
Your
official scores will be mailed from
the United States about three weeks
after the test. Please allow time for
them to arrive by international mail.
If you need score reports to be sent to additional institutions, please complete
the form in the SAT registration bulletin
and return it with payment to the College
Board. If paying by credit card, you
may also contact the College Board
on-line or by telephone as detailed
in the registration bulletin.
Questions
about any missing score reports (scores
not received after eight weeks or longer)
should be directed to the Educational
Testing Service, which issues the SAT
score reports. An e-mail sent to the
SAT customer service addresssat@ets.orgusually will receive a response in five to seven days. Score report problems
are best avoided by careful preparation
of the registration form. Write your
name and mailing address clearly and
follow payment procedures detailed
in the SAT I bulletin.
