大学咨询

The college process is an opportunity for personal growth, self-reflection, 和 self-discovery.
The Sixth Form year is a time of profound change: students begin to think about leaving the 易胜博app安卓下载 community, 进入成年期, 选择一所大学. 我们意识到其中的兴奋和挑战, 和 we provide tools to help our students navigate the many paths toward college admission.

虽然结果很重要,但过程也很重要. The 大学咨询 Office focuses on discovering good matches between students 和 colleges. 我们相信这是每个学生的个人旅程. 易胜博app安卓下载大学辅导员的作用是提供支持, 指南, 和 educate students 和 their families; students come to underst和 themselves as they explore the ever-changing world of college admission.

从五年级的冬天开始, 大学辅导员举行小组信息会议, 与学生和家长单独会面, 以及家长演讲. 六年级期间, students continue with individual meetings 和 have the opportunity to talk with more than one hundred college representatives who visit Groton. 除了, families 和 students have access to the school’s computer-based college counseling program, 它提供了统计数据, 大学的搜索, 奖学金链接, 还有其他信息.

6项清单.

  • P坐

    新的数字P坐
    In the fall of 2023, the P坐s will be administered on a digital device instead of a paper booklet. Students in the Fourth 和 11th grade will be able to take the exam on their school issued computer.

    The 大学咨询 Office will help students download College Board’s customized digital application, 叫蓝皮书, 对他们来说. They will be able to download the Bluebook app ahead of test day so they have time to get familiar with it before taking the exam.

    考试当天, 学生可以访问, 完整的, 并通过蓝皮书应用程序完全在线提交P坐.

    数字P坐考试时长为2小时14分钟, 比纸考短了半个小时.

    Since the digital P坐 will be shorter, it will also have fewer questions than the paper P坐. 数字P坐总共有98道题, 而纸质P坐则有139个问题.

    The digital P坐 will also use a new system called adaptive testing to assess students’ skills more efficiently. 通过适应性测试, the difficulty level of exam questions changes based on each question that a test taker gets right or wrong.

    适应性测试如何在P坐中发挥作用
    第一个模块将包括各种简单、中等和困难的问题. The difficulty of the second module will be determined by your performance on the first module. This means that the second module on both sections will be either easier or harder than the first module.

    sat的目的
    The P坐 is meant to give students “pr行为ice” 和 an early indication of how they might perform on the 坐s. Students will receive their P坐 scores 和 have a conversation with the 大学咨询 Office in order to identify weak areas 和 prepare so that they do better when it does count.

    易胜博app安卓下载P坐
  • 坐推理考试将于2016年3月开始实施,考试内容包括:
    • 两个数学部分, 80 minutes (one 25-minute section without calculator 和 one 55-minute section with calculator)
    • 阅读部分,65分钟 
    • 写作和语言部分,35分钟

    Students will receive a 数学 score between 200 和 800 和 a combined score for 阅读 和 Writing/Language between 200 和 800. The test is offered on seven dates each school year 和 is offered at 易胜博app安卓下载 six times a year. 更多信息请访问 www.美国大学.com.
     
    而坐则提供了一些语言和数学能力的指标, 它没有衡量在大学取得成功所需的其他重要品质, 比如动机, 毅力, 好奇心, 以及真诚的求知欲. 大学理事会不再提供坐科目考试.

    注册坐考试
  • 行为

    几乎所有的大学都可以用行为来代替坐. In the past, the 行为 was used primarily by colleges in the Midwest 和 West of the United States. 最近,接受行为考试的大学数量和地域分布都有所增加. 例如, more than 98 percent of the 330 colleges that accept the Common Application also accept the 行为. Students should read the requirements of the colleges in which they are interested to determine whether the 行为 is an acceptable or preferred option.

    行为考试包括四个35到50分钟的英语小测试, 数学, 阅读, 与科学推理. 你会收到四个单独的分数,再加上一个综合分数. 分数范围从1(低)到36(高). 大学咨询办公室可以提供一个图表来帮助联系行为和坐分数.

  • 托福:英语作为外语的考试

    This test is for non-native English speakers who either (1) have only been in the United States a few years, 或者(2)发现坐 I不能准确反映他们的英语能力. The TOEFL is meant to assess if a student’s English is sufficient to underst和 college-level texts, rather than evaluating the fine points 和 extensive vocabulary covered by the critical reading 坐 和 Literature subject tests. 英语语言能力测试, 由大学理事会赞助, is an alternative aimed toward students who have been taught in English for an additional number of years. 有些大学要求国际学生参加托福考试.

  • 多邻国英语测试

  • AP:大学预修考试

    AP课程是大学水平的课程, 高中授课, 遵循国家制定的课程. 得分范围从1(低)到5(高). Colleges vary greatly in how they use the AP 和 how much credit students can receive for their scores. 在易胜博app安卓下载,参加AP课程的学生必须参加考试. AP exams are given at Groton in May; they last three hours 和 are based on full-year college-level courses.
     
    科目包括艺术史, 工作室艺术, 生物学, 微积分AB和BC, 化学, 计算机科学, 经济学(微观与宏观), 英语语言及写作, 英国文学与写作, 环境科学, 欧洲历史上, 法国, 德国, 政府与政治, 人文地理, 国际英语语言, 意大利, 日本, 拉丁, 音乐理论, 物理, 心理学, 西班牙语, 统计数据, U.S. 历史和世界历史.

    AP课程并不是为大学录取而设计的. 而不是, it was designed to allow students to obtain college credit 和/or to exempt students from introductory college courses. 为了获得大学学分, 名牌大学要求至少4分, 有些要求5分(而另一些根本不授予学分).

    然而,大学并不打算用ap来评估候选人, many admission offices do pay attention to the presence of AP scores in an applicant’s folder. 如果学生修过ap并且成绩很好(4或5分), it may be in his or her best interest to report these scores to colleges on the application. 在大学申请中报告ap的任务落在学生身上. Students do not officially send AP scores until they are ready to matriculate to a college.

测试准备

对高考最好的准备是打下坚实的学术基础. 在整个教育过程中努力做到最好的学生, 并且在课外阅读词汇丰富的书籍, 巩固这个基础.

最好的短期准备是熟悉考试, 和, 对数学, 公式复习. 这可以通过练习题来实现, 通过交互式计算机软件, 通过与家庭教师单独学习, 或者参加一个小组预备课程.

易胜博app安卓下载与 顶峰教育集团 to provide individual tutoring 和 坐 Prep classes on campus during winter of Fifth Form 和 fall of Sixth Form. Many firms offer 坐 Prep; we cannot guarantee that any will make a difference. 有些学生进步了,有些则没有. Beware of claims too good to be true 和 weigh carefully whether students have the time 和 energy to invest in 坐 Prep. 

如果你决定参加考试准备课程, 我们建议你选择一个审阅材料的, 增强在任何测试情况下都有用的技能, 并提供有助于提高注意力和放松的练习. Many Groton students find that the summer between Fifth 和 Sixth Form is when motivation is highest for 坐 prep.
