Hi all,
Sorry for the confusion, I'm not sure why this happened; Bridget
seemed to understand what I was saying in the first reply of this
thread.
I am talking about the college entrance exam for colleges in
general, as I know that everything more or less depends on the
particular school (which we all go to different places). I also
wasn't talking about the SAT ei; I already took that, As I
mentionedbbf.
I hope I clarified, and thanks everyone for your replies.
Thanks,
Sami.

Sami,
I'm also confused about which type of test you are talking about.
A
college entrance exam is an exam that you take in order for a
college
to gauge whether or not you would be qualified at the school,
like the
SAT or ACT. But from your explanation, it sounds like you are
asking
about placement exams within a particular college. If it is the
latter, then it really depends on the school whether or not you
need
to take a placement exam. At my college for instance, the only
placement exam you need to take is foreign language to determine
which
level you would be placed in. But everyone else is required to
take
English literature and writing, unless you received a certain
score on
AP or IB exams. So once you know which school you are attending,
you
can check to see whether these tests are necessary and then you
can
have a discussion with the DS office on accommodations.
HTH,
Minh

Hi Rona, and all
I think Sami is talking about the entrance placement exams not
the SAT or
ACT.
Sami could you clarify? I'm thinking of the exams you take at
the campus
before registration to see where you place. The SAT or ACT
should be done at
this stage meaning you should have your test scores. Some
people test out of
there placement entrance exams when they do well on the SAT. I
do not know
if the same rules apply for the ACT.

Hi Sami thanks for your message. In high school I took the
American
College Test known as the ACT. This test was not an easy exam
for me to
take. I had to take it twice before I passed the reading and
math
sections. The test is divided into four sections that you take
on
separate days.
