Authorised Testing Centre
TRIO World Academy is now an authorised testing centre for the SAT and PSAT/NMSQT at Bengaluru. It is open to eligible SAT takers who are students of the school as well as from outside. The opportunity to be a SAT centre is another milestone in TRIO’s story towards helping students secure a seat in universities in the USA.
TRIO has cultivated a culture that encourages students to build capabilities and skills that help them secure admissions at the best colleges and universities in the USA, Canada, UK, India, Singapore, New Zealand, Germany and other countries through our University Guidance Programme. Over 100 global universities have accepted TRIO students into their programmes till date.
A widely recognised standardised test used for admissions to undergraduate programmes of colleges and universities in the USA. It measures literacy, critical reading, and mathematical skills to assess success at the college level. Conducted by College Board.
PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) helps students become eligible for National Merit Scholarships and serves as excellent practice for the SAT. PSATs are not considered for college admissions.
Tests are now taken on a tablet or laptop instead of pen-and-paper. The duration has been shortened from 3 hours to 2. The test features shortened reading passages and a built-in calculator facility.
