Avenues International prepares a large number of undergraduate students for the SAT admission test. Our teachers are regularly updated with the course and changing teaching strategies. SAT classes are conducted between 7 AM and 7 PM Monday to Friday. Like other test preparation courses, this course also runs for six weeks.

The New Scholastic Aptitude Test (N-SAT) was introduced in 2005 by College Board Exams. Even though some colleges and universities do not require the N-SAT of international students, this test scores are highly considered for the assessment of undergraduate scholarship applications in American schools.
