Which is hard, SSAT or TOEFL?

The ground floor is right

TOEFL stands for Test of English as a Foreign Language, if I remember correctly

As the name suggests, it is just a language test: the content is listening, speaking, reading and writing. To put it bluntly, it depends on whether you can communicate with Lao Mei Whether you go to middle school, college, graduate school or work in North America, TOEFL is a complete exam (except for going out through intermediaries and other means, of course), and he proves that you can communicate.

And the full name of SSAT is SECON- Dary School Admission Test To put it bluntly, it is the American high school entrance examination This test mainly tests your comprehensive ability, including mathematics (this Chinese basically get high scores Oh racial advantage), as well as professional vocabulary, your logical ability (this old beauty is more important, reflected in reading), S is not a test of your English ability, just in English in other words, SSAT in Chinese, There is no difference in the essence of French questions, but Lao Mei can only speak English.

Answer your question:

1。From what I said above, you can easily know that the two exams are much different in terms of content, because the purpose of the two exams is completely different. The question types are also different (don't think that both exams have reading, in fact, they examine different ideas, T relies on reading ability, S tests logical ability, you will understand this after you learn it specifically).

2。As for which one is difficult, to be honest, it varies from person to person. S is about perseverance, and T is about ability.

If you think you have a lot of perseverance, then S is not very difficult, just do more questions, of course, you have to do a lot of questions (because S questions are very regular), if you have a certain ability to listen, speak, read and write (especially listening and speaking) then you will find it easier.

From my personal exam experience, let's look at the difficulty, because you have to do a lot of questions, it takes perseverance and perseverance, and the preparation process is painful But the good thing is that your score will never be too low (because there is math to help you lay the foundation, how easy is math?). You will know when you read the question, hehe).

After taking the S test and then taking the T, you will feel a lot easier, because it is not very painful to prepare for T, but it is possible to get a low score in the T, if you don't have much listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, you will get a very low score, and you will not be as lucky as the S. test.

Having said so much, which one is difficult, you need to compare your actual situation according to the above, just know whether you should take the S or T test first, that you may be better at Good luck!

SAT uses English to test knowledge (subject knowledge, mathematics, physics and chemistry, etc.).

TOEFL one is an English proficiency test (equivalent to a single English test).

Of course, there is no comparison.

The SSAT is equivalent to the American high school entrance examination, and the TOEFL is an English test as a foreign language, which is an English proficiency test provided by the Educational Testing Service and ETS for non-English-speaking students who apply to go to college or graduate school in the United States or Canada and other countries.

The SSAT vocabulary is 8000, the TOEFL is more than 9000, the SSAT is better, and the TOEFL is over 18.

Or the SAT is a little harder. But it's useless for you to ask which one is difficult, depending on what score the school wants, you have to take the test.

More expensive than TOEFL.

Generally speaking, the cost of one-on-one English training is about 10,000 for TOEFL, and the SSAT ranges from 10,000 to 50,000, so the SSAT is slightly more expensive than the TOEFL.

The U.S. High School Admission Test is a very important entrance test for private high schools in the United States, Canada and other countries, which mainly measures students' math, Chinese and reading comprehension skills, and examines candidates' logical thinking and development potential. The U.S. Secondary School Admission Test is for students of different ages and is divided into advanced and low levels, with the upper level for students in grades 8-11 and the lower level for students in grades 5-7.

The annual cost of SSAT training courses is generally about 2W 3W.

As far as the current market is concerned, SSAT training courses can be divided into online and offline from the model. Generally, the annual fee of ordinary SSAT training courses is generally about 2W-3W, and the online mode is a little more.

Compared with online, offline SSAT training courses** are generally high, and the annual fee is basically not lower than 3W, and there are two kinds of small class teaching: one-to-many or one-to-4, and the fee is also small, and the course fee is more expensive.

Different from the detailed positioning of reading in the TOEFL test, the reading of the SSAT test pays more attention to whether the test taker understands and reads the passage thoroughly, so when reading practice, each article should be summarized as much as possible, sentiment analysis and paragraph summary, etc., especially the emotional grasp of poetry.

There are various genres of the SSAT reading test, and there are different types of test questions in different genres, so candidates need to summarize the corresponding answering rules for different types, and do not blindly generalize about all types of essays.

It doesn't matter in order, it's the same for any test. If you have a good SSAT score, the TOEFL is not much of a problem.

Many people have heard of the SAT and the SSAT, but they don't know much about the difference, so let's take a look at the differences between the SSAT and the SAT below.

1. Different properties and uses.

The SAT and SSAT tests are like the difference between the Chinese college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination.

SAT is a test that American high school students must take to enter American universities, and its importance is comparable to China's college entrance examination, and it is also an important reference for high school students from all over the world to apply for admission to prestigious American universities, whether they can be admitted, and whether they can get scholarships, so it is also known as the American college entrance examination.

The SSAT is called the American High School Admission Test in Chinese, which is applicable to private high schools in the United States and Canada, and is a test score that applicants must have. It focuses on testing students' mathematics, language and reading comprehension skills, and assesses candidates' logical thinking ability and development potential.

2. The content of the test is different.

The SAT is divided into SAT1 and the General Purpose Test or New SAT, which includes reading, writing, and math. SAT2 is a single subject test or SAT special test for mathematics, clear-answer physics, chemistry, biology, foreign languages (including Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish), etc.

The SSAT test is divided into four sections, which are vocabulary, reading, math, and writing. The first three sections are scored items, and although the writing section is not scored, it will be sent together with the official transcript, so it is also important to pay attention to it.

3. The score settings are different.

In terms of scores:

SAT: SAT 1 has a maximum score of 800 in each subject and a total score of 1600; SAT2 has a maximum score of 800 in each subject.

SSAT: The test is divided into beginner and advanced levels. The overall score for the primary level is between 1320-2130 and is mainly for students in grades 5-7; The overall score for the Advanced is between 1500-2400 and is mainly for students in grades 8-11.

In terms of demerit points:

SAT: 790 for Math Error 1, 770 for Error 2, and 750 for Error 3.

SSAT: 797 points for Math Error 1 and 796 points for Error 2, which is not much difference.

In terms of fractional discrimination:

SAT: Scores are more discriminatory than the SSAT test. The SAT places more emphasis on actual scores.

SSAT: The percentage score is more important, if you want to apply to a top private high school, the percentage is 80% is relatively good, and the corresponding score is about 2150+.

4. The test time and place are inconsistent.

SSAT: The test duration is 155 minutes.

Test location: SAT: There is no test center in Chinese mainland, candidates need to travel to Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan to take the test.

SSAT: There are test centers in Beijing, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong.

5. The difficulty is different.

SAT: The math level is around the second year of junior high school, and there are some questions that have nothing to do with math knowledge, and it may also be tricky.

SSAT: Approximately the level of 6th grade of elementary school.
