SAT/ ACT Coaching at ADCI
The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) and ACT (American College Testing) are standardized exams widely accepted by universities in the USA and over 85 countries. These tests assess a student’s college readiness and are key for undergraduate admissions. In 2025, many top global universities continue to require or strongly recommend SAT / ACT scores, especially for scholarships and competitive programs.
Both tests evaluate skills in Math, English, Reading, and optional Essay/Writing. The SAT is administered by the College Board, while the ACT is managed by ACT, Inc. Students often take either based on their strengths, as universities accept both equally.
