What standardized test scores are required for applying for art study abroad?

　　 SAT

Scholastic Assessment Test (I)

SAT is an exam sponsored by the College Board. Its scores are an important reference for all applicants to apply for admission to American universities and scholarships. The exam content is divided into three parts: English, reading, grammar and mathematics. Writing is an optional exam. The validity of the scores is two years.

However, not all universities are required to provide such examination results. Some top universities are not required to provide such examination results in terms of admission conditions. Students can use other scores instead. When applying for a university, they need to carefully check the admission conditions of the university.

　　 ACT

American College Test

Like the SAT, it is called the American College Entrance Examination, and it is also one of the standardized performance conditions for college entrance in the United States. The examination content is divided into English, mathematics, reading, science, and composition (optional). Most universities recognize both grades at the same time, and students can choose one to participate according to the requirements.

Compared with SAT, ACT exam is more like a subject exam, which emphasizes the examinee's mastery of course knowledge, and also takes into account the examinee's independent thinking and judgment ability. In terms of time, ACT is shorter than SAT.

　　 GPA

Grade Point Average

It refers to the average score of students in school. Foreign schools generally use GPA to assess students' scores. The full GPA score of American general courses is 4.0, and the GPA requirement for scholarship applicants is at least 3.0.

GPA is generally calculated by multiplying the credits of each course by the class hours, and then dividing it by the total class hours to get the average score. The score setting of Chinese schools is generally a hundred point system or a five point system, and the specific conversion method varies according to the requirements of different universities.

　　 GRE

Graduate Record Examination

GRE is a standardized score required by all kinds of graduate schools (except management schools and law schools) in universities around the world, and it is also an important basis and reference standard for professors to grant scholarships to applicants.

Most graduate programs in American colleges and universities require applicants to provide GRE (or GMAT) scores. At present, our country implements the form of separate examination, which consists of two parts: computer test (analytical writing) and written test (language and mathematics).

　　 GMAT

Graduate Management Administration Test

Like GRE, it is also an exam result for graduate students. Most colleges and universities in the United States, Britain, Australia and other countries use GMAT test scores to assess whether applicants have the ability to enter.

However, GMAT is currently only applicable to professional examinations related to business, economy and management.

　　 A-Level

General Certificate of Education AdvancedLevel

It is a British high school curriculum system and also a college entrance examination course for British students. The A-Level course certificate is used by almost all English teaching universities as the admission standard for new students. With this examination, most colleges and universities can no longer submit the Foundation Certificate of Foundation Foundation.

The whole course lasts for two years and is divided into several courses. The requirements for A-Level scores vary from university to university and from major to major. Generally speaking, students need to study at least three courses, and they can meet the admission standards of most universities as long as they obtain A or above in two courses.

　　 TOEFL&IELTS

TOEFL, IELTS, English Proficiency Test

These two students should be familiar with that TOEFL is held by the American Education Center, and IELTS is held for the UK. These two tests are also internationally recognized professional English proficiency tests in non English speaking countries.

From the perspective of examination form, it is divided into four aspects: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The IELTS exam has high vocabulary requirements, mainly focusing on application ability. Students who intend to study abroad can make corresponding choices according to their own actual situation.

Generally speaking, universities in the Commonwealth, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are more recommended to take the IELTS test, while students who want to study in the United States, Canada and other countries are more recommended to take the TOEFL test.

　　 IB

International Baccalaureate Diploma Program

Both IB and A-level courses are the most important high school curriculum system in the world, and are recognized by many universities. The duration of IB course is two years, which is allocated to six basic disciplines. Students should study both science and humanities.

The IB course is also more difficult than A-Level. It directly prepares students for college and degree. Many British schools directly admit students who have completed IB courses on the premise that applicants meet other requirements. Some American universities will also give students up to one year's credits.

Send points

This Chinese "slang" is also common. It refers to that after completing the online application, students should mail standardized scores such as IELTS/TOEFL/GRE/GMAT/SAT to the school at the request of the school applying for it. Generally, students can operate after paying fees on the official website for examination registration. Before sending scores, they need to know the code of the school they are applying for. As for score sending, students should also reserve enough time to ensure timely submission.

Standardized scores are not as good as higher, but as good as enough. Many students fall into the cycle of frequent examinations, score brushing and test preparation in order to brush higher standardized scores. If you want to know more about it, come to Natural Light for free advice.
