These tests provide a fair way to rate the students abilities for them to have college scholarships and the universities approval for most of the universities appliance in the USA. What is the target score for ATHS students? - The target score for the ATHS students that is required or mostly to say preferred to score is 550 for the average students and 600 for the engineering science clustered students specifically.

How the SAT test is scored?

Each of the three sections (writing, reading, and math) are graded separately. For reading and math: you start at zero. You get 1 point for every question you answer right, 0 points for each one you leave blank, and -1/4 for every one you get wrong. Then these numbers are added to get the raw score. A chart that consists of raw scores on a side and a scale from 200-800 on the other is used to find the grade. In addition, for the mathematics grid in section, examiners get the 1 point score for each correct answer and they are not penalized for the incorrect answer. For writing: it's a little more involved. They do the same raw-score thing for the multiple choice, and give you a sub

score from 20-80. But then they also grade your essay, from 2-12. They have a huge chart with all the possible multiplechoice scores going down the side and all the essay scores going across the top, and at the intersection of your two raw scores they'd find your 200-800 scaled score. Both of these "charts" are unique to each administration of the test, and calculated precisely to make sure the SAT is always graded the same way (so if you get a hard test, the chart will have a higher curve).

Mention 10 tips to score more in SAT.

1. Set a realistic, but challenging goal. 2. Practice and review well before taking the exam. 3. Never answer randomly because youll get deducted. 4. Learn SAT strategies to solve different kinds of questions. 5. Pace yourself as you have the test, take less time on the 6. 7. 8. 9.

easy ones than the hard ones. Keep track of time, have a watch with you even though there is one in the hall. Answer the easy questions first, then the hard ones. Never waste time on a certain problem. Review your questions only when you finish the test and have time.

10. Have an early good sleep before taking the test.
