TOEFL iBT

If your goal is to study at a US university or you work in a US corporation based in Bogotá, please consider the testing your English power with the granddaddy of English exams.

The Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL) internetBasedTest (iBT) is the most widely accepted English exam in the world. 

The TOEFL iBT focuses on academic English - a high level of proficiency you need to thrive at a US university. 

You are tested on the four language areas explicitly and grammar and vocabulary implicitly.

The test lasts about 3.5 hours. 

Start about three (3) months before the exam day to prepare!

IELTS: General and Academic 

The International English Language Testing Service (IELTS) is the UK rival to the US TOEFL exam.

Cambridge University produces the IELTS and the exam is growing in popularity all over the world.

If you plan to emigrate to Australia, the UK, or another former British Commonwealth state, the IELTS is not only preferred more than TOEFL, but many times required. 

The IELTS and TOEFL assess your English proficiency in the four language areas plus grammar and vocabulary.

However, notice these two key differences between the IELTS and TOEFL iBT exams.

First, there are two versions - General and Academic. The General is mainly for immigration purposes while the Academic is of course for attending an English-speaking university.

Second, during the IELTS exam (general and academic), you will actually be "interviewed" by a LIVE person. 

It may sound funny, but on the TOEFL iBT, you speak into a microphone to record your responses in the Speaking Section.

Some students struggle to give their best responses talking into a voice recorder than a real person. 

Both exams are looong - more than 3.5 hours. 

Do you know one of the biggest reasons students do not score well on the IELTS exam?

Lack of time!

You will learn on Bogotá Inglés Ya how to manage your time plus tons of more tips for exam success!

So get ready to score the highest possible on the exam to accomplish your career goals!

SAT

The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) is for high school students who aspire to study at a US university.

Millions of US high school students take the exam every year and hope for the best score to win a scholarship and/or enter the university of their choice.

However, an increasing number of international students who cast a gaze abroad to study are taking the SAT exam.

When I taught English in Medellín, it was common to have 2 to 3 students per year who needed a high SAT score to study at a US university, like Duke, UCLA, or Purdue. 

These were highly-motivated and upwardly-mobile students who are at or near the top of their class in bilingual schools.

Even in some bilingual schools, the English is not enough to pass the SAT.

Advanced test preparation is necessary.

In 2016, the SAT exam changes.

The essay is no longer required, but many universities will probably request a writing sample for international students. 

The SAT is more a "thinking exam." Yes, you need strong English and math skills, but always remember - how you think and approach an SAT question is more important.

Thank you for interest in improving your English fluency!
