The Pearson Test of English Academic assesses the ability of non-native English speakers to participate in a university-level English language instruction program. A computer-based exam focuses on real-life English used in academic surroundings. The test takers listen to a variety of accents and academic language that they will encounter at English-speaking higher education institutions.
The exam includes an unmarked voice recording of the candidate, which is part of advanced biometric data that should assist institutions in verifying the identity of candidates and should aid them with their admission decisions.

The SAT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States. Since its debut in 1926, its name and scoring have changed several times. For much of its history, it was called the Scholastic Aptitude Test and had two components, Verbal and Mathematical, each of which was scored on a range from 200 to 800. Later it was called the Scholastic Assessment Test, then the SAT I: Reasoning Test, then the SAT Reasoning Test, then simply the SAT.
