Requirements vary and should be verified directly with each university for the specific year of application, as they have changed in recent years. Based on current information, at least one English proficiency test is typically required, IELTS or TOEFL, and some specific programs or scholarship tracks may require the SAT. SUSS previously required the SAT for certain applications. The most reliable approach is to check the admissions requirements page for NUS, NTU, and any other Singapore universities on your list directly, and to contact the admissions office if the requirements page does not clearly state whether SAT is required for your specific program and nationality.

• Given that sitting the SAT requires significant preparation time, beginning to assess whether it is needed at least a year before your application window opens is the right timeline.
• Taking the SAT is not a disadvantage even if it turns out not to be required, a good score can strengthen an application that is already competitive on other dimensions.
