It is an international, American, global, university admission test, recognized in most countries of the world and conducted by an American non-profit organization called “College Board”. The test helps students enter strong and distinguished Turkish universities when they wish to enroll in a bachelor’s degree, or complete their studies at Turkish universities.

What are the sections of the SAT test (SAT1)?
Writing Section:
It depends on reading short texts and answering multiple choice questions and grammar questions in the English language. A section that depends on spelling errors, grammar, verbs and tenses.
The secret in this section is that the student studies all the grammatical rules and applies them in various articles and topics and solves intensive exercises. You are considered to have mastered the solution and study of the writing section because this section depends on the rules and knowledge of them.
The test takes 35 minutes and the number of questions is 44 questions.
Reading Section:
This section depends mainly on reading short texts from literary novels, human and social sciences and natural sciences. These are strange and difficult vocabulary that most of us have not come across. Therefore, no matter how educated and proficient we are in the language, we will face great difficulty in doing so because it is not our mother tongue.
