Yeah there 2 SAT Tests . The first one is the SAT Reasoning Test and the other one is the SAT Subject test .

For admission to a CS program you need to take the SAT , SAT Subject tests in Maths and Physics . In addition if you want to make it to Berkeley , Stanford or Caltech then you most probably should take the AP Computer Science too . A 4 on 5 in the AP CS will give a great boost to your application .

You can also take a lok at the CS Programs offered in Canadian Universities like the University of Waterloo , University of Toronto . They do not need SAT for admission to their CS programs but you need to score atleast 90+ in English , Maths and Computers In your boards and need to have great extra-curriculars as a replacement for the SAT.

A for preparing for the SAT . the first thing you need to do is to expans your vocabulary . no crash course can ever help you get greater marks in the SAT . it's what you build up over time that helps you get more marks in it . Buy the Barron's SAT Prep Guide and practise from it regularly .
