GMAT & TOEFL, What is it ?

Standardized admission tests (TOEFL, GMAT, GRE and others) were originally introduced in the United States in order to determine whether an applicant possessed the specific knowledge and skills necessary to pursue a particular program of study. Today these tests are used by many schools worldwide as an objective and convenient tool to assess the performance potential of their prospective students.

Standardized admission tests fall into three main categories:

• Tests that measure English language proficiency (TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC)
• Tests required for undergraduate study (SAT, ACT)
• Tests required for professional and graduate programs (GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MAT, and others)

Aptitude Tests

Standardized admission tests are normally multiple-choice aptitude tests that are administered in the same testing conditions in many testing locations throughout the globe. Some of standardized tests are now given in the computer adaptive format (CAT, Computer Adaptive Testing).
