TEST PREP 

Once the students have decided which country they want to go for their higher education, the next roadblock they are going to face is about test preparation. Let us understand what exactly test preparation is all about.

The universities abroad are keen to take international students in for admissions in their various courses but it comes at a price. And the price is to prove that you are capable enough to deal with the major changes in the education system compared to that of your home country. That is why certain boards were set up and specifically designed standardized tests were developed to evaluate students aspiring to study abroad. These standardized tests like IELTS, TOEFL etc assess students’ academic achievements and learning to ensure that they are a fit for the university or country they are applying for. Every standardized test has a minimum cut off marks/score/band which is compulsory for a student to score in order to get admissions for studying abroad.
