SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) – High School Graduation Exam

The SAT is a standardized high school graduation exam in the United States. All U.S. universities, along with over 700 higher education institutions in 85 countries, accept AP and SAT scores for university admission. SAT scores are interpreted differently by each institution, but higher scores significantly improve a student's chance of gaining admission to top universities.

Note: SAT Subject Tests (SAT 2) are no longer administered either inside or outside the U.S. by the College Board. These have been replaced by AP (Advanced Placement) exams.

AP (Advanced Placement)

AP is a college preparatory program. It enhances students’ academic skills in high school, providing them with the competencies necessary for success at the university level. AP courses and exams help students gain college credit and demonstrate college-level readiness.
