What is the SAT?
The SAT is a widely used college entrance exam in the United States that measures skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. It helps universities evaluate students’ readiness for academic work. Learn more about the SAT on the College Board website. https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat

All U.S. colleges and universities accept SAT scores during their admissions process.

The SAT test is offered only in digital format and on fixed dates. Plan to register early as test centers sometimes fill, and allow yourself time to re-test if you are not satisfied with your results.

SAT verification at Amideast Erbil office:

Amideast doesn’t do the equalization for the SAT scores, but provides SAT Verification Services.

Amideast/Iraq in coordination with the Ministry of Education in Erbil, College Board and Educational Testing Services (ETS) verifies official SAT score reports. Test-takers are encouraged to list Amideast as a score recipient by entering Amideast’s DI or institutional code: 5027 when registering for the test, for Amideast to be able to receive your scores for future necessary verification in our offices. Otherwise, the test-taker will be required to provide Amideast with online access to their SAT account to let Amideast staff proceed with the verification process.

The test-takers are encouraged to plan ahead to request the service and then plan to pick up the verified score report. The verified score reports will be ready for collection within 48 hours or on the same day of request if possible. Amideast at the discretion of the testing staff may expedite verification of SAT score reports. The Test takers will be notified via phone when their verified score reports are ready for pick up.
 

Amideast doesn’t currently do AP verifications, as there is no local need for it by the Ministry of Education. However, Amideast is willingly serving the needs of test-takers who seek an AP verification for other purposes.
