If you are interested in studying at a university in the United States, you need to know the famous "American Enem", the SAT. 

What is the SAT?🇺🇸
The SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) is a standardized educational exam in the United States administered to high school students, which serves as a prize for admission to North American universities, the exam was introduced in 1926, and comes from the Educational Testing Service (ETS) which is paid for at College Board to create the test, both groups are private companies.
Currently, the test is carried out digitally (using Mac or Windows tablets or notebooks) at test centers appointed by the administering institution.
How does the test work?
The content of the test is very different from Enem, containing Math, critical reading and writing, and the writing test is optional.
Each of these areas of knowledge has a minimum score of 200 and a maximum of 800 points. 

In 2023, the SAT underwent changes, which previously had to wait for proctors to collect exam sheets: the SAT is now digital, along with some other modifications.

Three main modifications:

• Mathematics sections with more objective statements;
• Use of calculator for all section and math;
•The score released days after the exam (previously, candidates had to wait for weeks).

OBS📍
Assessing whether you did “good” or “bad” will depend a lot on the universities to which you intend to apply. For some universities like the Ivy Leagues, the average is 1550 on the SAT.

However, there are still many universities that accept lower grades, such as the University of Kentucky with an average of 1125 out of 1600, New York University (NYU) 1365 out of 1600, Universities of Michigan 1350-1530, Duke University 1510-1560.
