I have recently discovered that UK students wishing to study at a US University will probably need to take a standardised written test called the SAT. The test is intended to measure critical thinking skills, testing the subjects' ability to analyse and solve problems in maths, critical reading, and writing.
Naturally, there is something of an industry built up around this vital test and you can go online to get sat prep courses to ensure that you are ready to take the course. Knewton.com even have a sample questions page which kept me amused for quite a while - I took four questions and got three of them right... now, which University shall I apply to .....??
