What brought you to the SAT?

If you're looking for an alternative to the Psychometric, the SAT gives you an admission path in Israel without closing the door to the U.S. and the rest of the world. Now all that's left is to compare the two formats.
Compare the SAT and the Psychometric →

One score.
Much more than one door.

The SAT gives you one score that can stay relevant even if your plans change: admission in Israel, applying to the U.S., and more options around the world.

All of Israel

The SAT is accepted at universities in Israel

For Israeli students, the SAT can be used for admission to universities in Israel. The main exception is medicine: for that track, the Technion is the university that accepts the SAT.

  • Tel Aviv UniversityThe SAT can be used for admission instead of the Psychometric.
  • The Hebrew UniversityThe SAT is accepted in the admissions process.
  • The TechnionThe SAT is accepted, including an option for medicine.
  • Ben-Gurion UniversityThe SAT is accepted for admission.
  • Bar-Ilan UniversityThe SAT is accepted for admission.
  • University of HaifaThe SAT is accepted for admission.

Look at the differences.

If the SAT is accepted for your goal, there's no reason to compare based only on what everyone is used to. Compare the time, structure, tools, flexibility, and what the score can do for you later.

Why not just study
from English-language SAT materials and courses online?

There's a lot of SAT material online. The problem is that most of it is in English, cumbersome, and built for an American audience. For an Israeli student, that adds another layer right where prep is supposed to bring clarity.

The material is out there online.
The question is whether it's really accessible to you.

You can open a course in English, a video, a forum, or a summary. But you still have to understand the explanation in a foreign language, connect the sources on your own, and figure out what's actually relevant to the SAT and to an Israeli student.

What can you find online?

Choose a source.Let's see what it can give you, and what's still left up to you.

What does USAcademy give an Israeli student?

  • Learn in Hebrew: Even complex ideas are explained in the language that's easiest for you to understand.
  • Tailored for Israelis: We don't assume you grew up in the American education system or that you already know the style of the SAT.
  • Experienced instructors: Learn from teachers who know the material in depth and can explain it in more than one way.
  • Someone to ask: When you get stuck, you don't need to move on to another video or hope someone on a forum answers.
USAcademy was built to make the SAT accessible to Israelis.

Lessons are taught in Hebrew by experienced, knowledgeable instructors, with practice, topic tests, and support that bring everything together into one path. You focus on learning and improving your score, instead of translating explanations, putting together a plan on your own, and guessing what to do next.

Try one in your head.
It looks harder than it is.

You don't need to solve for x. If you know your exponent rules, you can get to the answer in a few seconds.

Good SAT questions don't always require more calculation. They require recognizing the right relationship quickly.
Math · Advanced levelOriginal sample question
3ˣ = 5

If 3ˣ = 5, what is the value of 9ˣ⁺¹?

Choose one answer
Show the solution

The temptation is to try to find x. You don't need to.

Write 9 as a power of 3:

9ˣ⁺¹ = 9 · 9ˣ
= 9 · (3²)ˣ
= 9 · (3ˣ)²

Now use exactly what the question already gave you:

= 9 · 5² = 225

The answer is C.

This is an important way of thinking on the SAT: before you start calculating, look for a way to turn what you're asked into something you've already been given.

that a YouTube link doesn't?

From the basics to the hard questions in the second module. For every topic, you move from explanation to examples, practice, and error analysis.

Linear algebra and equations
Expressions, equations, inequalities, systems of equations, and translating a word problem into an equation. The focus is on recognizing the shortcut, not just carrying out the calculation.
Functions, parabolas, and exponentials
Linear and quadratic functions, the vertex and roots, parameters, exponentials, and questions where you need to understand what the graph means, not just plug in numbers.
Percentages, ratios, and word problems
Percent change, ratios, rates, conversions, and quickly translating text into a math model. We also work on questions that look long but can be solved in one short step.
Data, statistics, and probability
Mean, median, spread, tables, graphs, probability, and reading data. The goal is to recognize which information you really need out of everything in the question.
Geometry and trigonometry
Angles, triangles, circles, similarity, area and volume, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry. Including choosing the right formula and combining graphs, algebra, and diagrams.
The graphing calculator and choosing a solution path
When the graphing calculator can save you a whole minute, when algebra is actually faster, how to use a graph to find intersections and roots, and how not to waste time on a tool that doesn't fit the question.

About the test, admission, and the course.

Can the SAT replace the Psychometric in Israel?
Yes. The SAT is accepted at universities in Israel for Israeli students. For medicine, the main exception is the Technion. If you're aiming for a specific program, we can go over your goal with you in the matching call.
Where is the SAT recognized abroad?
In the U.S., the SAT is recognized by every university. At some it's required and at others it's optional, but a high score can help strengthen your application and, at some institutions, also open up scholarship opportunities. Beyond the U.S., it's recognized by thousands of institutions around the world.
What if my English isn't strong?
The whole test is in English, so this is a real consideration. The course works on English alongside Math. If reading is currently your main obstacle, mention it in the matching call so we can plan how long you should prepare.
Why pay when there's so much SAT material online?
There is material online you can learn from, but it's all in English, often cumbersome and hard to follow without a clear order, and it wasn't built specifically for Israeli students. At USAcademy, the material is explained in Hebrew by experienced instructors, in a clear learning sequence that includes practice, topic tests, and access to instructors when it's not clear why you got something wrong or what to do next.
How long do I need to study?
It depends on your starting level, your target score, and your test date. The lessons are recorded and the practice is online, so you can build a routine around school, work, or service.
What does the support include?
Access to instructors for questions, explanations, and guidance throughout your prep, 7 days a week. Support hours and response times are detailed before you sign up.
What's the price, and how long do I get access?
The price, access period, scope of support, and enrollment terms are detailed before you join. The four intro lessons and the matching call are free and with no obligation.

Cracking the SAT: your path to admission at top institutions

Deciding to aim for university studies abroad, or to open doors to sought-after programs in Israel, is a significant step. To turn a big ambition into reality, you need a smart work plan. For many Israeli applicants, the SAT is the key starting point, but taking a test in English presents challenges that are completely different from what you're used to.

USAcademy's SAT prep course was built specifically to bridge the cultural and language gap, lower stress levels, and give you a proven work method that leads to high scores and prestigious scholarships.

What does the SAT prep service include?

SAT course: who is it for?

  • Soldiers and veterans – who are looking for flexible learning on their own schedule as part of a fast track to higher education.
  • Applicants for international and Israeli degrees – aiming for competitive programs that require a high SAT score, or who want to apply for merit scholarships.

How does our prep process work?

The path to your target score is based on a structured, organized process:

Frequently asked questions

While the Psychometric focuses on quantitative and verbal reasoning in Hebrew, the SAT is taken in academic English, includes a built-in calculator, and requires completely different reading and analysis strategies.
