Frequently asked questions

Which exams do I need to study abroad?

Most applications need two different things. An admissions test compares you academically: the SAT or ACT for undergraduate study, the GRE, GMAT, LSAT or MCAT for graduate and professional programmes. An English proficiency test proves you can study in the language: IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, or OET for healthcare registration. Which pair you need is set by the university and the course, not by the country.

Which study abroad exams have free mock tests?

11 exams in this category have free mock tests on TakeMockTest: GRE General Test, GMAT, SAT, ACT, LSAT, MCAT, IELTS Academic, IELTS General Training, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic and OET. Every test is free, needs no sign-up, and is marked to the exam's own scheme rather than a flat one mark per question.

What types of study abroad exams are there?

This directory groups them into 2: Admissions tests (6 live) and English proficiency (5 live). The grouping follows how the exams are actually conducted rather than how they are marketed, so exams that share a conducting body and a paper shape sit together.

How should I practise for an admissions or English test?

Both kinds are scored on a scale rather than a raw mark, so a percentage out of the questions you attempted tells you very little. What practice is for is format: knowing how the sections are timed, whether you can return to a section you have left, and how wrong answers are treated. Sit a full paper first for that, then work on the section that is costing the most.
