Re: US exams question
(Anonymous) 2022-08-11 12:17 am (UTC)(link)Re: US exams question
(Anonymous) 2022-08-11 12:27 am (UTC)(link)I think there are some states that have high school exit exams at the state level. California, I know, used to have one but they got rid of it a few years ago. There's also some places where standardized tests are used to determine things like school funding, but that's kind of its own enchilada.
Re: US exams question
(Anonymous) 2022-08-11 12:33 am (UTC)(link)In the UK you need at least to pass 3 GCSEs to have the functional equivalent of a GED (to get the most basic of jobs).
Re: US exams question
A fairly large number of universities/colleges let you apply and take classes without having taken the SAT or ACT test, but you better have really good scores/grade point average (GPA) and entry essay, etc.
Re: US exams question
(Anonymous) 2022-08-11 12:37 am (UTC)(link)Colleges used to use your SAT and/or ACT scores to decide whether to admit you but I think they are starting to pull away from that. The SAT and ACT have nothing to do with whether you graduate.
AP = Advanced Placement. These are exams that come at the end of high school if you took AP classes at your school, but not everyone takes those (and not every school may offer them). None of this is required to graduate from high school, but it can look good on a college application.
IB (international Baccalaureate) is like AP with its own track of courses and exams at the end. Also looks good on a college application, also not required for high school graduation.
There are no standardized exams in the US that everyone has to take to finish high school. You just have to pass whatever classes your school requires you to take and not have any overdue library books.
