According to me The SAT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States. It was first was seryup in1926, originally called the Scholastic Aptitude Test and here I’m telling you about the exam.

Here is the eligibility criterion to apply for the exam

SAT (SAT Reasoning Test or SAT subjects Test or both) is typically taken by high school juniors and seniors.

Indian students who have completed their 12 years of school education successfully from any recognized Indian board or university can take SAT for admission in the different streams available in to various American colleges.

Several colleges need a good SAT score along with a good academic record.

Colleges conduct their own tests, like Essay Writing, Personality Test etc and also ask for Curriculum Vitae and recommendations from teachers etc.

A nicely written CV (Curriculum Vitae) so that it reflects brilliantly about the aspirant may be of great help.

Some colleges specify the Subject Tests they require for admission or placement; others allow applicants to choose which tests to take.

You can take it during your Class XI or even after the XII boards. Just keep your college application deadlines in mind as admission decisions are largely dependent on SAT scores (along with GPA, transcript, recommendations, etc.).

There is no age limit for being eligible for SAT but normally you sit for SAT after your 11th or 12th for admissions to university courses.
