TOEFL is used to evaluate the English proficiency of individuals whose native language is not English. Most U.S. schools understand that Singaporeans are taught English, and will waive the test. You should check with the schools you are applying to and verify their requirements. If you have studied in Singapore but are not a Singapore passport holder (e.g. from Vietnam), you will probably have to take TOEFL. We strongly encourage you to double check with each school to make sure you are fully prepared for admissions. The USEIC has the latest TOEFL booklets that contain the information you need about this internet based test. Come  to our office to collect your registration bulletin or apply on line at www.ets.org/toefl.

This English proficiency test is recognized throughout Europe, and increasingly in the U.S. as well. (More than 500 universities recognize this exam.) Since admission requirements may differ from school to school, once again we strongly advise you to check with the university you are applying to if you need to complete this test. Go to www.ielts.org for registration information.

This computer-based exam measures general critical thinking, analytical writing, verbal reasoning, and quantitative reasoning skills. The GRE must be taken by students who wish to obtain a graduate (post-graduate/masters) degree. Students planning on pursuing post graduate degrees in engineering, math, sciences, social sciences and arts will most likely be required to submit their GRE results with admissions application materials. There is a GRE General Test as well as  Subject Tests.  Check with your desired university as to which one they require. (Students applying to law, medical or business schools will be required to take different exams). You can register for the GRE through their official web site: www.ets.org/gre.  Our advisers have additional information and materials in the office so do not hesitate to stop by with your questions.

All students wishing to enroll in a business school to pursue a M.B.A (not the B.A. in Business Administration) must take the computer based GMAT. This test assesses basic verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills that you should have developed up to this point through your education.

Many, but not all, universities require freshman applicants to take the SAT: paper-and-pencil tests that evaluate students’ proficiency in English, writing and math. Check each school’s requirements before you commit to taking this test. Only the most exclusive schools may require students to take SAT Subject Tests for admission purposes. The SAT exam is offered six times a year, and the SAT Subject Tests are offered between four and six times a year.

The USEIC has the latest SAT and SAT Subject Tests  information booklets that contain registration and schedule information. You can obtain a free copy in our office.
