Which admission tests you need to take depends on your profile and the admission requirements of the universities you are applying to. Slamstox will help you determine exactly what you need.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are the admission tests?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">The most common admission tests for American universities are:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">SAT or ACT (general academic tests)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo English Test (language tests)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Should I always take the SAT or ACT?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slamstox.com\/en\/wiki\/faq\/sat-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SAT <\/a>(Scholastic Assessment Test) is the most popular choice among international students.
