What These Exams Are All About

High school admission exams are used by selective, private, and specialized schools to measure how prepared students are for advanced learning.

They test your reasoning, reading, vocabulary, math, and writing skills, but more importantly, they test how well you can think under pressure.

Your score can determine more than just admission. It can also influence scholarship opportunities, placement into advanced programs, and even your future learning path.
