For the 2 time this year, UAS will host a SAT preparation course starting in December until April, 2013. Please see
nd

students ready for the fall 2013 SAT test date.
What is the SAT and why take an SAT prep (preparatory) course?
SAT is a standardized admission test that is administered by the College Board. SAT tests are held six (6) times
during the academic year at accredited SAT testing centers throughout the UAE. Registration for SAT tests is
completed online by students well in advance of the test dates via the College Board SAT website:
http://sat.collegeboard.com/home
SAT scores are required for admission to most US colleges and universities, for many American universities in
the Middle East such as American University Sharjah, American University Beirut, American University Cairo and
some Canadian institutions for students who are pursuing the IB diploma course program. Having a high SAT score
can enhance a students college application. A strong SAT score may also mean a student is eligible for freshman
scholarships at university/college.
