SAT® I
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.
AMIDEAST maintains a supply of 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.
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.
They may also register on-line using a credit
card.
