All students who apply to the US colleges/universities should take American Standardized Tests that help to evaluate language proficiency and assess general knowledge of the candidates. There are no entrance examinations in the United States and tests allow to evaluate the scholastic level of  individuals. Some more selective schools organize interviews for candidates.

Educational Advising Center does not organize tests and is not the testing site, nor the registration office. Educational adviser provides information brochures with registration forms and informs about registration procedures and tests preparation books.

Warsaw is major test center but tests can be also taken in Poznan, Gdańsk, Łódź and Lublin.
