test is given at specified locations in 180 countries around the
world. ETS administers the TOEFL test under the direction of the
TOEFL Policy Council, which is comprised, of 15 members from independent
academic organizations and government agencies.
To register for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL®),
you must obtain a copy of the Information Bulletin for Supplemental
TOEFL Administrations. You cannot register at the test center or
by personal letter, telephone, fax, cable, or electronic mail. You
must complete the registration form in the Bulletin and mail it
to TOEFL Services, PO Box 6151, Princeton, NJ 08541-6151, USA. Be
sure to register early; some test centers fill up very quickly.
Taking the test costs US$110.
GMAT
Those,
who are applying to a graduate school abroad, usually take the Graduate
Management Admission/Assessment Test (GMAT). It is comprised of
three main sections: analytical writing, quantitative reasoning,
and verbal reasoning. It assesses your overall verbal or mathematical
aptitude. The GMAT test registration fee is $190. You will receive
a partial refund of $76 if you cancel your test at least 7 days
prior to the scheduled appointment.
The GMAT is available, year-round, at test centers throughout the
world. You can schedule your test within a few days of taking it,
but popular dates (weekends) book quickly. You can send up to 5
graduate schools selected by you on the day of the test your score
report. You may request additional score reports for an added $25
per school.
The GMAT program will provide accommodations for you if you meet
GMAT* eligibility criteria. On average, you have about 1 3/4 minutes
for each verbal question and 2 minutes for each quantitative question.
You will have 75 minutes for 37 quantitative questions and 75 minutes
for 41 verbal questions. If you do not know the answer to a question,
or it's too time-consuming to figure out, guess. You cannot skip
a question and go back to it, or change your answer once you have
moved on to the next question.
SAT
Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) is composed of two parts SAT I
and SAT II.
The best ways to get ready for the SAT I:
Reasoning Test is to take challenging academic courses and to read
widely outside school throughout your school years. Preparation
for the SAT II: Subject Tests varies for each test. For example,
some Subject Tests (such as American History, Biology E/M, Chemistry,
and Physics) are best taken as soon as the course ends so the information
is still fresh in your mind. You'll do better on other tests, like
Writing and the language tests, after several years of study. Make
sure you know the test directions, know what to expect. Do the easy
questions first. Know how the test is scored. Guess smart. Don't
panic if you can't answer every question. Omit questions that you
really have no idea how to answer. Be careful when filling in the
grids Use your test book to do scratch-work Know your answer sheet.
Don't make extra marks on your answer sheet. Mark only one answer
to each multiple-choice question
