General Testing
The first thing for applying American universities is to prepare the SAT, commonly known as the "American College Entrance Examination". Besides, many students will also choose the ACT test. We recommend that high school students should start preparing for the SAT/ACT test in their 9th or 10th grades. There are many mathematics knowledge such as advanced functions that need to be learned in advance. Besides the requirement of solid math skills, students also need prepare enough practice time for themselves. For more information about American standardized testing, you can consult Carrey Education (WeChat: Carrey_Canada).

Universities in California and some public universities may have their own application systems, students need to pay additional attention to this during their preparation stages.
