If you want to study at a university in America, you will almost always face admission tests. These tests are used to assess your academic and language level. The most common admission tests are the SAT, ACT, TOEFL, IELTS and Duolingo English Test. Depending on the university you apply to, different combinations of these tests may be required.
Why are admission tests important?
Admission tests, along with your GPA (school grade point average), are an important part of your application file. They help American universities assess whether you are academically ready for English-language study. In addition, high scores on these tests can also ensure a higher academic scholarship – so your investment in good preparation literally pays off.
What are the admission tests?
- The SAT and ACT are general admission tests that measure your math, reading and language skills.
- The TOEFL, IELTS and Duolingo Test measure your level of English if you are not a native speaker.
Not all admission tests are mandatory for everyone. Some universities only ask for the SAT and a language test, while other schools also accept the ACT or Duolingo. Slamstox will help you determine which test combination is required for you.
