At Shanghai French School, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to pursue bold ambitions, whether their future leads them to Europe, Asia, North America, or anywhere else in the world. For those aspiring to study in the United States, one key element can make the difference: the SAT exam.
What is the SAT and why does it matter?
The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) is one of the most recognized university entrance exams in the United States. It measures essential skills in Math and English, giving American universities a clear and reliable benchmark to assess applicants from around the globe.
For many U.S. institutions, especially prestigious and highly selective universities, the SAT is required or strongly recommended. A strong score doesn’t just strengthen an application; it can open doors to academic opportunities that would otherwise remain out of reach.
This is why having access to the SAT becomes a powerful advantage for students preparing for international higher education.
