Am I Ready For SAT After A-Levels?

<p>If someone studied and took the A-Levels exam does it mean he/she is ready for the SAT? I mean does A-Level courses include everything needed in the SAT?</p>

<p>A levels are reportedly a lot easier to get now. It’s no longer accurate considering 90% of people get them. (not sure about percentage but it’s either over 90 or will be in a few years)</p>

<p>The SAT reasoning test differs from any of the A level tests. The reasoning test assumes a modest level of math knowledge – no pre-calculus, and relatively simple geometry. The CR and CW level exam assume the reading and writing English knowledge of someone who has completed junior year in an American high school, or the international (English immersion) equivalent.</p>

<p>This said, the answer to whether you specifically are ready is more difficult to answer. You may be “ready” in a general sense but the reasoning tests with their particular structure and time limits may present challenges to you. Take a practice test and decide. If you’re off by 200 + points from where you need to be for the colleges that interest you then set aside 4-6 months of elapsed time for practice. There are book and courses (some online) that may be of help.</p>

<p>The SAT II subject tests may be closer to the A levels, at least in terms of knowledge of the subject matter. But these too are structurally very different from the equivalent A levels. Again take a practice test and decide. Prepare accordingly.</p>

<p>it depends, i heard of some people getting straight As for A levels but ending up with a 1800-2k sat. others didnt do as well but got a 2200-2300+. really depends on your english since the math part is way below a level.</p>

<p>a level and sat grades aren’t and shouldn’t be correlated because they test different things. but my guess is that if you completed your a levels, your reading, writing and reasoning skills are developed enough to do well on the sat</p>
