PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test). The PSAT is designed to help students practice for the SAT and is used to determine the test-taker's eligibility for scholarships awarded by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Colleges don't use this test to determine eligibility for admission. This test is also known as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT).
SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test). The SAT predicts how students will perform academically as college freshmen, and as a single, standardized means of comparison, helps college admissions officers make acceptance decisions. The SAT has seven sections - three math sections covering arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and a miscellaneous category that includes probability, data interpretation, counting, and logical analysis; three verbal sections covering analogies, sentence completions, and critical reading; plus a "wild card" section of either math or verbal that doesn't count.
ACT (American College Testing). The ACT also predicts a student's success in college by measuring academic abilities in college prep programs. It is used as an admissions tool and awarding of scholarships and loans. It has four content areas - English, Math, Reading and Science Reasoning.
SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test). The SSAT is the required admissions test for hundreds of independent schools. It offers two tests, a lower-level test, grades 5 through 7, and an upper-level test, grades 8 through 11. It predicts how well students will perform in school, and is used as an admissions and placement tool. The SSAT measures verbal, math and reading comprehension.
SAT II. The SAT II are subject tests, one-hour, mostly multiple-choice, that measure how much students know about a particular academic subject and how well they can apply that knowledge. Many colleges require or recommend one or more of the Subject Tests for admission or placement. They provide a dependable measure of academic achievement and are a predictor of future performance. There are 22 subject tests offered including: Writing, Literature, History, Math, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and various language proficiency tests.
Club Z! also provides individualized study programs for specialized testing including:
GED (General Educational Diploma). To earn a GED, an individual takes a comprehensive exam which covers five subject areas: writing, social studies, science, literature, and math.
GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) is a multiple-choice test for applicants to business schools. The GMAT is a computer-adaptive test (CAT) meaning each section starts with a medium-level question and an average score. If answered correctly, the computer will raise the score and then give a more difficult question. If answered incorrectly, the score will decrease and an easier question will be given. The process repeats for each question in the section, to arrive at a final score for that section.
LSAT (Law School Admission Test) is a 101-question, multiple-choice test for applicants to law schools.
GRE (Graduate Record Examinations) a multiple-choice admission test for applicants to graduate schools.
MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) is a national standardized test for applicants to medical schools.
USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Exam). All medical students and residents must pass this three-part exam in order to be licensed to practice medicine in the United States. The first part of the USMLE, known as Step 1, is usually taken at the end of the second year of medical school. It's a one-day, computer-based exam that tests a broad range of topics covered during the first two years of medical school. In fact, most medical schools require students to pass the USMLE Step 1 before continuing on to their third-year clinical rotations.
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is a multiple-choice, computer-based test for non-native English speakers.
ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is a military entrance exam used to help determine military eligibility as well as provide information about specific vocational interests and aptitudes of the test taker.
