要看是申请哪个学校、哪个年级。你们得做足功课、做好计划。
比如Deerfield Academy对考试的要求如下：
http://deerfield.edu/apply/how-to-apply/
• Candidates for grades 9 and 10 should take the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) or the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE). Scores must be sent directly to Deerfield from SSAT/ISEE and must include the required writing sample. The SSAT and ISEE must be completed during the academic year in which an application is submitted.
o Deerfield’s SSAT school code is 2770.
o Deerfield’s ISEE school code is 220685.
• Candidates for grade 11 should take the SSAT, ISEE or PSAT.
• Candidates for grade 12 or the postgraduate year should take the PSAT, SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT.
• If English is not your first language, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) may be taken in place of the aforementioned tests. Deerfield’s TOEFL school code is 9577. The TOEFL must be taken within one year of the application deadline. We suggest that students submitting TOEFL scores also submit scores from the SSAT or SAT Reasoning Test. (Please note our page for International Applicants.)
