A remarkable feature of American university enrollment is that each university enrolls students independently, and there is a complete two-way choice between candidates and universities. There are two main types of college entrance examinations in the United States, namely SAT and ACT, which are sponsored by the Education Testing Center in Princeton, New Jersey and the American College Testing Center in Iowa. They are recognized, authoritative and non-profit examination institutions. At present, the SAT is the most universal and authoritative entrance examination in the United States, and all American colleges and universities accept SAT scores. Starting from 1994, SAT is divided into SAT Ⅰ and SAT Ⅱ. The subjects of the SAT Ⅰ I test are English and mathematics, with 800 as full score, full volume 1600, and the test time is 3 hours. There are many new words in English test questions, so it is not easy to get full marks; Mathematics test questions are relatively easy, and the content belongs to junior high school algebra, geometry and a little knowledge of mathematical logic. SATⅱⅱ includes various elective subjects, such as natural science, social science, calculus and various foreign languages (many children in China choose Chinese). Students should take at least 2~3 courses according to their own interests and the requirements of applying for universities. SAT is held seven times a year, for example, in 2003, it was fixed at 65438+1October 4th,1October 4th, 65438+February 2nd, 65438+1October 27th, 3. Candidates can ask examiners to submit their best scores to the declared universities. The school also encourages outstanding students in grades 6 and 7 to get SAT scores in advance. Candidates from poor families can apply for exemption from examination fees by filling out a form. ACT will test English, mathematics, science and society, with a full score of 36 points in each subject, and the test time is 160 minutes. ACT is held five times a year, and there is no limit to the number of exams. ACT test requirements are easier than SAT. SAT scores are required by all prestigious schools, and state universities or midwestern universities are willing to accept ACT scores. Because SAT scores can be converted into ACT scores, but not the other way around, it is a good strategy to take the ACT for those who have average grades and don't want to go to a prestigious school. In addition, PSAT(Preliminary SAT), also known as preview SAT, is an examination for eleventh-grade students in American middle schools to select candidates for award-winning scholarships, and it is held every year 1 month/time. PSAT only takes English and mathematics, with a perfect score of 80 in each subject. If the score exceeds 200 points, they will be candidates for the national award-winning scholarship, and then the winners will be selected according to the comprehensive judgment of autobiography, school performance, extracurricular activities, community service and leadership ability. Because only 2000 people win prizes in China every year, it is an honor for high school graduates. Students won the PSAT Award, which laid a solid foundation for graduating from high school and being admitted to prestigious schools. Dalian Free Legal Consultation:/Dalian
