- CLT (Classic Learning Test): This is an alternative to the SAT and ACT and is accepted by a growing number of colleges.
- SAT Subject Tests: These are hour-long, content-based tests that allow you to showcase achievement in specific subject areas where you excel.
- AP Test (Advanced Placement Test): These are college-level exams on specific subjects and are administered in May upon the completion of an AP course taken at a student’s high school.
- TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): This test measures the ability of non-native English speakers to use and understand English as it’s read, written, heard and spoken in the university classroom.
- GED (General Education Development): This is a series of tests that, when passed, certify that the test taker has met high-school level academic skills.
