There are a number of tests we recommend for students to take in order to build strong foundations for their desired major choices and the schools they will apply to. These tests are not included in high school curriculums and need to be taken externally. It is recommended that students seek support from an overseas education consultant to learn which tests they should take and how to prepare for them. Without proper guidance, students may find themselves wasting time and energy taking tests that are unnecessary for them or missing out on tests they don’t realize they need to take, which can result in a disadvantage in their school applications. To avoid this, it is crucial to obtain the most accurate information and personalized guidance from an experienced education consultant based on the student’s abilities, goals, and the requirements and expectations of the schools they wish to apply to.
Different universities in various countries have different test expectations. Some universities may require English proficiency tests such as TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English to assess students’ English language levels. These types of tests are referred to as “English proficiency tests.” Additionally, there are tests known as “standardized tests,” including SAT, ACT, and AP (Advanced Placement). While some universities in the United States have made the SAT requirement optional, there are important considerations to be aware of in this regard. Based on accurate information, the student should carefully decide whether to take these standardized tests and which ones to choose. Relying on hearsay information and making incorrect decisions regarding test preparation can negatively impact a student’s university applications and make it more difficult for them to gain admission to their desired universities. At Kaynak College Counseling, we have designed our system to eliminate these errors that may arise from lack of accurate information. We guide our students in creating the most accurate test plans based on their goals and direct them to the most reliable resources for test preparation.
As Kaynak College Counseling, we are not affiliated with any test preparation institutions, and since our students’ success is of utmost importance to us, we can make unbiased recommendations to the test preparation teachers we trust the most. Working ethically and honestly is one of our most valued principles, and by focusing on this principle, we prepare honest, strong, and successful applications.
When our students learn to approach all the guidance they receive, including test preparation, not only with the aim of getting into a university but with the goal of building a strong foundation for themselves, getting into the most suitable universities becomes a natural outcome. If you want to receive the most accurate guidance and prepare the strong applications for the universities that are most suitable for you, we are ready to assist you in the best possible way.
