لولي الأمر: المهارات اللي بتتقاس في الإنجليزي في الامتحانات التلاتة متشابهة جدًا: قراءة وفهم، وجرامر، وعلامات ترقيم، وأسلوب كتابة. ابدأ بكورس الـ SAT لأنه بيشرح كل قاعدة بالتفصيل، وبعدين لو ابنك هيمتحن ACT أو EST يدخل على الكورس بتاعه يتعود على شكل الامتحان. وقبل ما تختار، اسأل الجامعات اللي عايز تقدم فيها بتقبل أنهي امتحان.
