SAT 1, SAT 2s, ACT with writing, TOEFL–what are they?

Most American colleges require applicants to take standardized examinations. These tests are offered on specific dates in specific locations. Register well in advance!

Which tests do you need to take? The answer differs from program to program. Go to the website of each school to which you plan to apply. The information will be there. We suggest you make yourself a chart, so that you can keep track of what must go where and when.

As part of college admissions counseling, we will help you understand the role of the SAT in your college application dossier. How do you compare with other students who were admitted last year to the colleges you are considering? Why is your SAT score so important? What does it take to succeed? Just how serious is this?

Note to international students about the TOEFL

If a college says that a person in your situation must take the TOEFL, do not plan to argue with them. Do not assume that, for example, you do not need to take the TOEFL, even though your native language is German, because you are in the International Baccalaureate program and the language of instruction at your school is English.
