SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) is an standardized test which is taken by students who wish to pursue their undergraduate education in USA. The exam is conducted by College Board and its conducted every year 5 times in India in all major cities. You can visit CollegeBoard website for more details.
Another such exam is the ACT.
Unlike JEE and other entrance exams in India, a good score in SAT doesn't guarantee admission in top American Universities. -
