SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) is an Paper- based standardised Test. It
is widely used for College admissions in United States.Since it was
debuted by the College Board in 1926, its name and scoring have changed several
times; originally called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, it was later
called the Scholastic Assessment Test, then the SAT I: Reasoning Test,
then the SAT Reasoning Test, then simply the SAT.
There are two SAT sections:
Math
Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
The
SAT also includes an optional Essay section. SAT Essay scores are
reported separately from overall test scores. Some colleges may require
that you complete the SAT Essay.
The test is intended to assess
students' readiness for college. The SAT takes three hours to finish,
plus 50 minutes for the SAT with essay, and as of 2019 costs US$49.50
(US$64.50 with the optional essay), excluding late fees, with
additional processing fees if the SAT is taken outside the United
States. Scores on the SAT range from 400 to 1600, combining test results
from two 200-to-800-point sections: Mathematics, and Critical
Reading and Writing. Although taking the SAT, or its competitor the ACT,
is required for freshman entry to many colleges and universities in the
United States,many colleges and universities are experimenting with test-optional admission requirements and alternatives to the SAT and ACT.
The ability to communicate or convey our messages effectively is the most important of all life skills. Communication is simply the act of exchanging information from one to another, whether this is verbal or non-verbal, written or visual. Keeping a conversation going is something of an art, and not everyone is born with this art but this is something that can be learned efficiently. Effective verbal communication is dependent on a number of factors and cannot be fully isolated from other important interpersonal skills such as non-verbal communication, listening skills and clarification. Clarity of speech, remaining calm and focused, being polite and following some basic rules of etiquette will all aid the process of verbal communication. Communication skills are crucial for building strong foundation for a successful future career of students. In today’s competitive era, communication skills in business are the most sought after quality of an educated person. Reading, writing, listening carefully and speaking effectively are the four most important communication skills for students.
What deserves more attention is that most of the students do not feel comfortable to address the masses or express themselves in public. This is where the students lack the expressive skills. Our everyday programs and teaching methodology are designed to develop these expressive skills, as we strongly opine that students need to learn how to communicate effectively and get the full attention of the listeners/audiences.
Our programs aim at the overall development of an individual not only for the exams but for their bright future as well.
English is the prime business language and it has become a necessity for people to speak English if they are to enter a globalized work environment. The process of learning English can be challenging and time consuming, we can see that it is also valuable to learn and can create opportunities to study/work across the globe!
Many people around us are not lucky enough to go to a brilliant English medium school, while most of those who studied in English medium schools are not able to express themselves well in English or lack the confidence to converse in English. This meant that even though the students learnt English as a subject, they still do not have many opportunities to brush up their grammar and spoken English skills. This later becomes the biggest hurdle for them in their way to success. The current generation of youth that had big dreams and wanted to make a difference suddenly realized after coming into the global platform after their studies that how much they have missed upon the functional English Language Learning! In today’s competitive era, it has become essential that people communicate fluently and efficiently if they want to progress in these cut throat competition times. Unless you have excellent English speaking skills, and knowledge of correct grammatical structures, there will always be a limit to your success and you will always be hindered by your own shortcomings!
Our Grammar and Spoken English course is designed in such a way that it caters to need of every individual who aims to carve a niche in the society. It covers a wide range of topics and everyday situations that will help the learners to overcome this shortcoming in their personal as well as professional life.
