Is there a college entrance examination abroad? The "college entrance examination" in the United States is actually not an exam, but a series of preparations made by students to apply for their favorite universities according to the four-year study and overall planning of ordinary high schools, including some well-known exams, such as TOEFL, SAT and ACT. As international students, most American colleges and universities must have the above test scores (according to the regulations of official website), so most students will plan ahead and submit their applications in the application season.

TOEFL (English Foreign Language Test) is an English proficiency test organized by ETS, an American educational testing service. Most American universities or research institutes require foreign students to submit standardized TOEFL scores when applying. Since 1964 was launched, more than 2,000 people have participated in the TOEFL test.

TOEFL used to be a paper-and-pencil test, but later it was changed to a computer test. Now it is an online test, and students have to pay to take this test. Around the world, ETS branches promise to hold exams in major cities on time. In addition, some institutions, such as government departments, business licenses, commercial organizations, or new academic scholarship programs, are likely to specify the ranking of this exam. It should be noted that the cycle of TOEFL scores is 2 years.

SAT (Scholarship Assessment Test) is an examination undertaken by American CollegeBoard, and its results are the main reference for high school students all over the world to apply for admission qualifications and academic scholarships in American universities. It is also called ACT(AmericanCollegeTest Entrance Exam (ACT).

However, not all colleges and universities need to provide SAT scores. The entrance requirements of some top universities do not require SAT. Students can use other test scores instead. When applying for a university, they must carefully check the admission requirements of the school. After the reform of 20 16, the new SAT was divided into *** 1600, which was divided into three parts: reading articles, grammar and mathematics, and the creation was changed to elective examination. ETS is responsible for setting questions and marking papers. But they are only one of the raw materials for enrollment, not the key elements. Their exam results are limited to two years.

ACT American College Entrance Examination ACT is called "American College Entrance Examination". It is not only one of the admission conditions of American universities, but also one of the important bases for universities to issue academic scholarships, and it is also a test standard for students' comprehensive quality. This exam is also recognized by many American universities, with the central and midwestern universities accounting for the majority.

ACT is different from SAT. ACT exam is more like a course exam, which pays more attention to the degree of mastery of the professional knowledge of the course content, so as to consider the test of the candidates' learning, thinking and analysis ability. Seven states in the United States require students to take the ACT exam. They are all Illinois, Colorado, Michigan, Kentucky, Wyoming, Tennessee and Maine. For the SAT, basically no state requires you to take the SAT.

Unlike China students, American high school students have applied for college planning since they entered school. Whether it is communicating with the school's instructors on time, visiting the favorite university campus, attending the summer school of colleges and universities to improve the overall strength of their environment, or taking the above exams every year to "get high marks" and finally deciding to apply for schools and submit applications, American high schools have full and detailed arrangements every year.

Every day, every week, every month, every year, all the exams, GPA average, community cultural activities, and sports talents of American high school students are unique links in the process of college application. More importantly, students will gradually understand themselves and find the way they really want to go in this process.
