At college administration,all insertion university's applicant is rare without checking entrance person's nature though neither the entrance exam competition nor the prepschool in Japan exist certainly in the United States.It is demanded to take an examination of the both of the aptitude of going on to school examinations (SAT or ACT) in most of the university. SAT is an achievement test to which three subjects are selected from among mathematics, a natural science, the social science, the English study, and English literature, and it takes an examination of ACT by the achievement test of English and mathematics. These two tests are different from a common test of Japan, and ACT is executed as many as five times six times a year not the annual one but SAT. You may take an examination of both times how many again because the character of qualifying examination is strong, the one of the highest score is sent to the university, and the entrance examination is done for these. Because the pass or fail of entrance is not decided only by the score of these tests, the existence of such a school can hardly be observed though it might be thought that you may complete the prepschool to work over measures of this test if it thinks like Japan. As for the pass or fail of college administration, it is valued whether to have done the result of the coming from high school besides the result of the aptitude of going on to school examination and the activity in the field of the letter of recommendation from the teacher of charge and the specialist, sports, and the arts, and so on. Such a selection method is the one often seen from a public and state universities by a private university. It actually says in the Harvard University as follows. "Harvard admissions officers give great weight to factors such as special talents, recommendations by school officials, personality, and advanced placement or honors courses. Rank in class and SAT scores are not considered too important." When the current state of the university entrance exam in the above-mentioned United States is compared with that of our country, it often seems to learn very much.
