Bruce is also going to tell Li Qiuping about his next plan.

"Teacher Li is like this. I will graduate from elementary school in June. After taking the TOEFL test, I am going to go to Hong Kong Island in July. You know that July 1st is the day when Hong Kong Island will return to the motherland. , How could I not come to the scene in person in such a big scene, so I will go to Hong Kong Island first, and I will stay there for a month, so that's it. You let Yao Ming take the TOEFL test quickly, and then take Yao Ming. Come to Hong Kong Island and join me. If Yao Ming has taken the TOEFL before July 1, then come to Shancheng in advance and join me, can we go there together?!"

There is no way that time is really tight. The application conditions for studying abroad in the United States do require a lot of tests.

Well, let me first popularize the analysis of the conditions required for studying abroad in American junior high schools.

First of all, everyone knows that there is the TOEFL (TOEFL). The TOEFL is an English proficiency test organized by the American Educational Testing Service (ETS). The full name is "The Test of English Proficiency for Non-Native English Speakers". The Chinese is translated from English to English by TOEFL. "TOEFL". After the reform, the TOEFL has been upgraded from the old TOEFL to the new TOEFL. It consists of four parts, namely Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. The full score of each part is 30, and the total score is 120. Minute.

Generally speaking, the TOEFL score requirements for American high schools with different rankings will also be different:

1) The average TOEFL score of TOP10 private high schools is about 111;

2) The average TOEFL score of TOP11-25 in private middle schools is around 106 points;

3) The average TOEFL score of the TOP26-50 private middle schools is about 102;

Generally, top American schools require TOEFL scores, which will be clearly stated on the school's official website. However, the specific TOEFL score requirements of American high schools mainly depend on the degree of competition for submitting applications.

Of course, there is also a small TOEFL in this TOEFL. The small TOEFL is an authoritative English proficiency test organized by the American Educational Testing Service (ETS) for 11-15 year olds around the world. The TOEFL Junior high school TOEFL test is mainly divided into three parts: listening , Language form and meaning (can be understood as grammar and vocabulary), and reading. The TOEFL test time is 110 minutes, with a maximum score of 900.

The small TOEFL is generally used to apply for grades 7-9. Some schools can accept the small TOEFL in the 9th grade, depending on the school situation. (But Bruce will not take this small TOEFL test. After taking the TOEFL, there is no need to take the small TOEFL test again!)

After taking the TOEFL test, the SSAT is the test. The full name of SSAT is SecondarySchoolAdmissionTest. The Chinese name is the American High School Admission Test. It is applicable to the entrance test of American and Canadian private high schools. It is a test score that applicants must have.

SSAT is mainly used to measure students' mathematics, Chinese and reading comprehension abilities, and is to examine the logical thinking and development potential of candidates. The test questions are mainly made by AdmissionTestBoard. For students of different ages, the SSAT test is divided into upper level and lower level. The former is for students currently studying in grades 8-11, and the latter is for students currently studying in grades 5-7.

The SSAT exam is known as the American high school exam, and it is divided into two levels. Under normal circumstances, top boarding and day schools will require both TOEFL and SSAT scores.

(This Bruce definitely has to take the exam, because every high school in the United States will require students who have studied abroad to take the exam. Bruce can't hide it. You don't want to take the entrance exam to think of anything beautiful!)

...

Of course, examination is one aspect, and school selection is another aspect.

Let’s take a look at the application process for studying abroad at American High School. After all, this is part of studying abroad. Let’s take a look. Maybe your family will use it in the future!

First of all, the most important thing for students studying abroad is to choose a school. Generally, there are 8-10 boarding applications and 3-5 day-study applications, which may be adjusted slightly according to the student's situation.

Reason: Boarding schools are relatively fiercely competitive. In order for students to be admitted by the school, apply more; day schools generally have 3-5 admissions~

School selection process: select a school according to the requirements of the parents and combined with the child’s own situation (including school fees, geographic location, standardization of the child, day school or boarding), etc.; the selected school must be shown to the parents However, if the parents agree to apply, we will choose more when choosing a school, and we will choose more for parents. When setting a school, we usually recommend 3-5 schools, and the school can be decided. There will be a ranking of these 3-5 schools, and generally the first choice school is our focus.

After the parents set the school, they immediately made the school selection plan and sent it to the Internet to confirm that there was no problem, and the application was started. The schools in the school selection plan need to be sorted.

If the school agrees, then all you have to prepare are recommendation letters, school transcripts (for the past 3 years), TOEFL scores, SSAT scores, personal resumes, etc.

In addition, the school also needs to interview for training or something. Of course, this must be confirmed when the school has confirmed the above recommendation letter, school transcript (nearly 3 years), TOEFL score, SSAT score, personal resume, etc. Arrange the interview.

In the end, there is nothing wrong with everything. If you pass the interview, congratulations, and you have become a high school international student.

...

In fact, these are the exams. TOEFL must be taken before studying in the United States. The SSAT is not taken until after going to a private school and sitting in the classroom of the school. So Bruce and Yao Ming are currently the most important. It is still necessary to pass the TOEFL test. If you fail to pass the test, then there is no need to take the SSAT again.

As for the choice of school, don’t worry about it. Whether it’s Bruce or Yao Ming, both of them have recommendation letters. Especially Bruce’s recommendation letter was jointly sent by Paul Allen and Bill Gates. I believe this recommendation letter will arrive once it arrives. Lakeside High School will definitely cause a sensation. At that time, Lakeside High School will definitely let Bruce enter the school directly without having to participate in the interview. Just kidding, the people recommended by Paul Allen and Bill Gates need to take an exam. Isn’t this slap these honorary alumni in the face? !

Not to mention Yao Ming's. Bruce directly looked for a recommendation letter from a professional teacher who was a professional recommender in the United States. They were all acquaintances and acquaintances. This is also easier to handle, right? Originally, Bruce was also planning to ask Stern to give Yao Ming a letter of recommendation, but considering that the Han people will choose Yao Ming as the top pick in a few years, if this letter of recommendation comes from Stern and the Han people get the top pick, it can be done. It's a big trouble, and everyone will know that he and Stern are conspiring. This is definitely not conducive to his future development, so this time I can only wrong Yao Ming to act according to the rules without celebrity recommendation. Poor Yao Ming is Need to go to an interview.

Bruce doesn’t know how Yao Ming’s English level is now, and he can’t pass the TOEFL level. If he can’t pass the TOEFL level, then it means that Yao Ming may not be able to stay in the United States this year. He must pass the TOEFL test. There is no alternative. Even Bruce can’t change. Bruce himself has to take the test honestly. I don’t mean that money can be solved. If you don’t take the test, American High School will never admit these foreign students who want to study in the United States.

"Ms. Li, how is Yao Ming's English level?! Don't you tell me that Yao Ming can't pass the TOEFL?!" Bruce asked worriedly.
