hi gargi,

this depends on what your target university requires. most schools require the sat test. some schools or programs require subject tests in addition to the sat. i’d recommend contacting the admissions counselors at your target schools for more information 🙂

the sat is a general test of reading, writing, english, math, and reasoning skills. more information on the content of the sat can be found on the college board’s website.

the sat ii subject tests each focus on a more specific topic. you can view a list of all the subject tests on the college board’s website here.

a calendar of test dates for each can be found here:
sat
sat subject tests

assuming you take your sat senior year, then yes. remember, though, you can take the sat anytime you like. 🙂

hi shelby,

thanks for pointing this out! i checked the website and you are absolutely right: the date is march 14th. those test dates are still ‘anticipated’, so we will look into them and see how to update this table 🙂

thank you for researching the information!

hi idris,

it is absolutely possible for an international student to get a perfect score; be warned, though, that perfect scores are incredibly rare for any student! i recommend that you check out this blog post: how to get a perfect score.
