Taking Undergraduate College Entrance Exams 谈谈大学生入学考试
In the U.S. there are 2 basic college entrance exams. Some schools prefer one over the other, but most schools will accept either one. Differences do exist between the tests, but they both are very similar.
在美国有两种基本的大学入学考试。有些学校更倾向于采用其中一种，但大多数学校两种都采用。两种考试有一些差异，但大体上很相似。
1) ACT: This test has several sections. It tests your understanding of logic, grammar, reading, and math.
ACT：这种考试分几个部分。它测试你的逻辑理解能力、语法、阅读和数学。
2) SAT: This test has 2 parts: Math and English. This test is similar to the GRE except it is easier. Both of these tests only test basic skills. They focus on asking simple questions in confusing ways. They test people's ability to take tests more than their knowledge. However, in the U.S. the entrance exam is only a small part in the application process. Colleges consider many other things. Even if don't
do well on the exam, you can still get into an average college.
SAT：这种考试分两部分：数学和英语，与GRE类似，只是更简单些。这两种考试只是测试基本技能，主要是用一些令人迷惑的方式提一些简单的问题，与其说是在测试人们的知识不如说是在测试人们的应试能力。然而，在美国入学考试只是申请大学过程的一小部分。学校考虑很多其他方面的情况。即使你考试没考好，还是可以进一所普通的大学。
