college entrance exam

A college entrance exam is a standardized test designed to assess a student's readiness for higher education. It typically measures skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, mathematics, reading comprehension, and writing. Universities use these scores to evaluate applicants' academic abilities and potential to succeed in college. The exam provides a common benchmark that helps compare applicants from diverse educational backgrounds. While important, it is usually considered alongside other factors like grades, extracurricular activities, and personal statements during the admissions process.
