Read the Wikipedia article about the SATs - it pretty much has everything you need to know!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SATs
Some of the main points are:
The SAT consists of three major sections: Mathematics, Critical Reading, and Writing. Each section is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, with scores always being a multiple of 10. Total scores are calculated by adding up scores of the three sections. Each major section is divided into three parts. The test takes three hours and 45 minutes to complete. The writing section of the SAT includes multiple choice questions and a brief essay. The essay section, which is always administered first, is twenty-five minutes long.
Most of the questions on the SAT are multiple-choice questions with five answer choices. The questions of each section are ordered by difficulty. However, an important exception exists: Questions that follow the long and short reading passages are organized chronologically instead of by difficulty. Ten of the questions in one of the math sub-sections are not multiple choice. They instead require the test taker to bubble in a number in a four-column grid.
The questions are weighted equally. For each correct answer, one raw point is added. For each incorrect answer one-fourth of a point is deducted. No points are deducted for incorrect math grid-in questions. This ensures that a student's mathematically expected gain from guessing is zero. The final score is derived from the raw score; the precise conversion chart varies between test administrations.
The SAT is offered seven times a year in the United States, in October, November, December, January, March (or April, alternating), May, and June. The test is typically offered on the first Saturday of the month for the November, December, May and June administrations.
The SAT Reasoning Test costs $41.50 ($63.50 International).[3] For the Subject tests, students pay an $18 Basic Registration Fee and $8 per test (except for language tests with listening, which cost $19 each). The College Board makes fee waivers available for low income students. Additional fees apply for late registration, standby testing, registration changes, scores by telephone, and extra score reports (beyond the four provided for free).
