Summary of SAT, TOEFL, GRE, GMAT etc for US admission
« on: June 22, 2010, 09:55:18 am »
TOEFL

The TOEFL is required of all students interested in applying for BA/BSC, MA/MSC, LLM, MBA and Ph.D. programs of study. It is also required for U.S. citizens and other nationalities whose language of instruction in the last two years was not in English. The purpose of the TOEFL test is to evaluate the English proficiency of candidates whose native language is not English. The new test emphasizes integrated skills, measures all four language skills including speaking, provides better information about your ability to communicate in an academic setting, and will be delivered via the Internet.
SAT I

The SAT I test is required of all students interested in applying for BA/BSC degree study.  The test, which takes four hours, consists of three sections: mathematics, writing, and critical reading.
SAT II

SAT II subject matter tests are required of most students interested in applying to competitive BA/BSC programs of study. The tests 
measure how much students know about a particular academic subject and how well they can apply that knowledge. Each test takes one-hour and is based mostly on multiple-choice questions.
GRE general

The GRE general test is required of all students applying to MA/MSC/Ph.D programs of study.  The general test measures skills that have been developed over a long period of time, which are not necessarily related to any particular field of study. The test is composed of analytical writing, verbal, and quantitative sections.
GRE Subject

The GRE Subject test is required by many institutions for admission to Ph.D. programs of study.  Eight subject tests are offered: biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, biology, chemistry, computer science, english literature, mathematics, physics, and psychology.
GMAT

The GMAT test is required of all students applying to MBA programs and those applying to Ph.D. programs in business administration. The GMAT measures basic verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills that are developed over a long period of time.
