    Study Notes

    A college entrance examination is a test taken by students who want to enter into colleges, universities, or other higher education institutions. These tests are typically standardized, meaning they have fixed formats with set questions and rigorous scoring systems. They also help colleges assess applicants' skills and potential against one another. There are many different types of college entrance examinations based on various factors such as region, focus area, target school, etc.. Some common ones include SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, TOEFL, IELTS, PTE Academic, AP Exams, CLEP, DSST, and Cambridge Assessment International Education. Each institution has its own standards when it comes to college entrance exams because there isn't just one unified national exam system. However, most schools accept scores from any nationally recognized exam, so you don't necessarily need to take a specific type based on the school you plan on attending. College entrance exams can be challenging, especially if you haven't been studying for them while still in high school. But they aren't hard enough that only people with exceptional levels of intelligence and knowledge can pass them - anyone willing to study and put forth some effort will do well on these exams, even if their background wasn't particularly strong academically.
