January 12, 2011 Irina Shubina visited School-Lyceum №56 and met with 10th Graders. She gave information for students to understand Standardized Tests. Many U.S. universities/colleges include standardized tests as a mandatory part of their application requirements. Individual universities/colleges will tell student which tests they require either on their website or through the application material they send to student. Educational Adviser told International students should understand that although many U.S. universities/colleges require standardized tests as part of the admission process, test scores alone do not determine whether student will be admitted. American universities and colleges take many other factors into consideration. However, test scores can play an important role in determining any financial aid package. The most common sources of information regarding the testing requirements for each university/college are the university/college websites or the catalogs and bulletins of individual institution. Also, students are recommended to visit EducationUSA Advising Center in Astana – address: ul. Beibitshiluk, 18, office 409. Tel.: (7172) 91 00 68. The staff of this EducationUSA Advising Center can help students with information on university/college requirements, test registration, and preparation. There are many useful test preparation materials at ACIE EducationUSA Advising Center. Among them
Longman Preparation Course for the TOEFL Test: The Paper Test (Student Book with Answer Key and CD-ROM). – Deborah Phillips. – 641 p.,
The Official Guide to the TOEFL Test. – ETS. - Third Edition. – CD-ROM with 2 Full-length Authentic TOEFL Tests. – McGraw-Hill. – 453 p.,
Barron’s. SAT with CD-ROM. – Sharon Weiner Green, M.A., and Ira K. Wolf, PhD. - 24th Edition. – A diagnostic test and five full-length practice tests. – 920 p.,
The Official SAT Study Guide. From the Test Maker. - Take 8 Practice Tests. – CollegeBoard, New York. – 889 p.
So students have opportunities to practice tests at EducationUSA Advising Center and to experience a taste of what it’d be like to pass real tests. This meeting was useful for students especially for those who pursue to study abroad and particularly in America.
Also I.Shubina informed students about upcoming January schedule of 13 EdUSA Connects sessions: Researching Choices and encouraged students to take part in these events online.
Total participants – 80
