ENTRANCE TEST PREPARATION
Entrance tests are equally as crucial as the common and supplementary app in the role they play for university admissions. Without meeting the minimum score, applicants will not be considered for further selection rounds. It is a challenge to prepare for specialised tests considering each applicant’s own academic workload at school. Test preparation is instrumental in shortening the Student’s learning curve. QC and mentors provide insider insights, key guidance, content and pedagogy, which are instrumental in order to shorten the learning curve and maximise study efficiency and performance.
TYPE OF US ENTRANCE TESTS
General Tests
The Scholastic Assessment Tests (SATs), Advanced Placement (AP) Tests and American College Tests (ACTs) are tests most university applicants would require. These exams are designed to test comprehension, critical thinking skills and arithmetic abilities. The SATs are scored on scales between 400 and 1600 and the ACTs are scored between 1 and 36.
Mentors will review all components like reading, writing, and mathematics to provide comprehensive coverage for the exam.
Course Specific Tests
In the US, course specific tests typically apply for Masters or Graduate programmes.
For instance, an individual hoping to study Law in any US institution will be required to sit the Law School Admission Tests (LSATs). In order to take a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA), one will need to sit the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) and for Medical School, the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT).

OUR SUCCESSFUL MENTEES

Overall, I think the structured yet flexible process in which the preparation was done made the most difference. Each week, I covered different parts of the SAT 1 and 2 based on my weakness. I was also allowed to choose what I would like to cover during the practice sessions, whether it is management or economics practices, or even specific topics within each SAT subject. This allowed me to focus on improving my weak points, and that was most beneficial. I am very thankful. In fact, I have already recommended my cousin to QE, and she went for interview practice as well.

The QC Entrance Test Preparation mentoring sessions greatly exceeded my expectations. Preparing for the application essays and SATs while preparing for exams was challenging, but my mentors Sean and Dixon were very patient in my SAT I and II preparations. They were able to spot my weaker subjects and went through the tips and tricks of how to score more consistently and avoid the common mistakes. The timed practices were very important in honing exam conditions as well. I was able to score a 1500 and enter into my dream university with their guidance.
