SAT Information Specific to QISS QISS is proud to be an SAT testing sight and to be able to offer the opportunity for our students to test in the comfort and convenience of their own school. We will be offering a chance for QISS students to test on October 1st , November 5th , December 3rd , May 5th and June 2nd. The SAT is a recommended assessment for all 11th and 12th graders who plan to attend college. While 11th graders can take the SAT at any time during the year, we highly recommend that they not take it until the spring of their junior year. They will be better prepared and more successful if they wait until they have been exposed to higher level classes. Seniors should also take the SAT during the fall of their senior year. All students are encouraged to take the SAT at least two times during their high school careers. The SAT is a standardized assessment that is globally recognized by colleges as part of the admissions process. If you are the parent of a student who is preparing to take the SAT within the next year, you should investigate the following resources. SAT Preparation Resources The College Board web site offers several free tools to help students prepare to take the SAT and SAT Subject test. 1. Encourage your child to go to the following page to get his/her free SAT Question of the Day, Practice Questions and Practice Test. http://sat.collegeboard.org/practice 2. Another great resource is the PSAT Score Report that your child receives when they get the results of their PSAT (10th and 11th grades only). The results provide specific information on where your child should focus academically. You can also go to: www.collegeboard.com/quickstart to sign in for tools that help; get a personalized SAT study plan, see correct answers and explanations, explore majors and careers, search for colleges and learn about scholarship opportunities. Do not make your children do practice test after practice test hoping their score will go up by sheer perseverance. This is only going to reinforce bad habits which will later be hard to change. Students should first learn effective test-taking technique which when fully mastered can be applied to a series of practice tests. Quality, not quantity, is needed when preparing for the SAT. Remember that the best preparation for understanding the content on the SAT is working hard every day in class. General SAT Information The test takes approximately 4 hours and consists of 10 separately timed sections.

Why are SAT & PSAT so important? Help students get into a better University. What are the expected scores for most students? The SAT has three parts: Critical reading, Mathematics and Writing. The scores range from 200-800 for each area. This means that students can make anywhere from a 600 to a 2400. Very few students are able to obtain a perfect score even the ones accepted to the top universities. Every University has a different requirement for acceptance, so you need to research requirements for the schools that you want to apply. Grade 11 students survey Most of the 11th grade students feel nervous about their English. Their goal scores are 2000~2400. Math and critical reading are the hardest part of the test. Most of the students said they prepared for the test, especially SAT vocabulary.
