SAT

College Board usually declares the date of SAT exam result. The result usually comes in 2-4 weeks time. On the stipulated date of SAT score release, applicants can log on to their College Board account by 08:00 p.m. IST and access their results. Thus, applicants should check their accounts on their designated date of score release and not before that. This is the only intimation that applicants can get through the website of College Board.

There are just two sections on the Digital SAT exam and they are as follows:

1. Reading and Writing section
2. Math section

Bith sections have two sub sections. There are 54 questions tested on Reading and Writing, while there are just 44 questions on Maths section.

There is no paper based format of the SAT exam. There is only one format that is in play at the moment and that is the digital format. On the Digital SAT, there are:

• Reading & Writing Section: 54 Questions (64 minutes)
• Math Section: 44 Questions (70 minutes)

The difference between Khan Academy's prep and digital SAT prep is that,

• Khan Academy not just provides mock tests, they also have teaching videos to aid applicants with SAT prep.
• Khan Academy is the official partner of College Board for SAT exam prep after it became digitalised.
• On the other hand, College Board just has practice papers in PDF formats that can be downloaded for practice. 
• College Board does not give any prep material.
• Also, only when applicants register for SAT, can they access Bluebook App where they can take mock tests in the exact same format as they will on the exam day. 

Applicants can access official digital SAT practice tests as part of their preparation either at College Board's website or at Khan Academy website which is the official partner of College Board for preparation and practice. Once applicants register for SAT, they can set up their account on Bluebook App and take a mock test there also. 

It is not necessary that applicants upload their photos right in the first go of SAT registration. Applicants can come back after paying for the SAT exam registration and still upload their headshot photos. Also they must note, that they must upload their photo at least five days before the actual exam date, following the phot requirements, else they will not be able to give the exam. 

Uploading your recent photo is essential before you sit for the main SAT exam. The definition of a good photo as per College Board is as follows:

• The image must be in any of these formats - .jpg, .gif, or .png.
• You must be recognizable in the photo you upload, basically the headshot must be clear.
• The photo should not be too dark or too light.
• Ensure that the eyes are open and not closed.
• Photo must be natural and must not be altered using any tool.
• Finally, the image must include only you and nobody else.

If these instructions are not followed, then you may not be allowed to appear for the test. 

The University of Leeds does not generally require standardized test scores like ACT, SAT, GMAT or GRE, for admissions of international applicants. Some of the programs like MBA might required GMAT scores, but for other program, these cores are not considered necessary for undergraduate and postgraduate courses . However, candidates can provide these scores at the time of admissions, to enhance and strengthen their profiles and hence, increasing their chances of acceptance.
