To be admitted to an American university, in addition to your GPA (grade point average), the “Admissions Office” also looks at your scores on admission tests: the SAT or ACT, the TOEFL, IELTS or the DuoLingo Test. The scores of these tests not only determine whether you will be admitted, but can also affect the amount of your academic scholarship. You do not have to take all the tests to be admitted to an American university; some schools, for example, require only the SAT and the TOEFL.

Slamstox helps you pick the right tests, register for them, and prepare and study. With specific practice materials, you can prepare optimally to get the highest possible score. This will not only increase your chances of admission, but also of receiving a higher scholarship!

The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) is a standardized college admission test for universities in America. The test consists of three parts: math, reading comprehension (English) and English writing (essay). For the math and English sections, you can get a score of 800 points per section, so 1600 total. The essay component is not required at most schools, and therefore is not always taken.

The SAT test is designed for students entering America after high school. If you have already attended college or university in your home country, it is usually not necessary to take the SAT.

Slamstox gives you learning tips and materials, helps you register and schedule the test, and sends your scores to the U.S. coaches! Slamstox can also prepare you for the SAT these days through personal SAT training sessions, curious how we do that? Get in touch with us!

The American College Testing (ACT), like the SAT, is a standardized college admission test for universities in America. Typically, students choose to take either the SAT or the ACT.

The ACT test consists of four sections: English, Math, Reading and Science. For each section, you will receive a separate score between 1 and 36 points. Your final score is the average of the scores you received on the 4 sections. The higher your score, the greater your chances of admission and academic scholarships!

The DuoLingo English Test is a newer, modern way to test your command of the English language. You can take the test from home; this is not always possible with the TOEFL and IELTS tests, for example.

You can score between 0 and 160 points for the DuoLingo test, with 160 being the highest score.

The DuoLingo test has grown rapidly in popularity since the emergence of the Corona virus. The big advantage of the test is that you can take it at home, the scores are quickly available, and in addition, the test is also cheaper. Not all universities yet use the DuoLingo test to determine whether international students have a good enough command of the English language but more and more are doing so.

Would you like to know if the DuoLingo Test is sufficient for your university? Feel free to ask us!

The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is required at almost all universities for students whose native language is not English.

This test tests general knowledge of the English language, as it is important for universities to be sure you have a minimum level of English proficiency. The test consists of the components of reading, writing, listening and speaking. For each section you can score 30 points, which can add up to a total score of up to 120 points. The test can be taken at several locations in the Netherlands. In some cases it is also possible to take the TOEFL test online.

Slamstox helps you with preparation and other TOEFL-related issues such as registration, scheduling and sending your scores to coaches and universities. We also have practice materials available for our student-athletes to practice for the test.

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is an alternative to the TOEFL.

This test also tests you purely on your command of the English language. Each university maintains a minimum score for admission. The different parts are listening, speaking, reading and writing. For the overall result, you get a score between 0 and 9. The higher your score, the better!

Which admission tests you need to take varies from person to person and from university to university. Most schools
do ask for a language test if you are not a “native English speaker,” i.e. the TOEFL, the IELTS or
DuoLingo.
