British school exams

Five tracks, in the order a pupil meets them. The 11+ and the KS2 SATs both come at the end of primary school but answer different questions — one decides a school place, the other measures the school. GCSEs follow at sixteen, then A-Levels or the technical route of T Levels and BTEC, and it is that last set university offers are built on. Scotland runs its own system: if you are studying there, start with National 5 and Higher rather than with GCSE.

American school exams

Five tracks doing four different jobs. The PSAT/NMSQT comes first and is not an admissions test: it is the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship Program, and an early diagnosis of where you stand. The SAT and the ACT are the admissions tests, accepted interchangeably and differing in shape rather than difficulty — almost nobody needs both. An AP exam ends a college-level course taken at school and can be worth credit or placement. The GED and the HiSET are the two high school equivalency exams, and your state decides which you may take.

English language tests

A university place, a visa or a professional registration usually turns on one number, and that number comes from a test of English rather than of anything you know. These tracks work through the format that produces it — the question types, the writing tasks and the spoken interview — and rehearse them as they are actually set.

Citizenship tests

Citizenship is decided partly by a test, and the test is narrower than it looks: a known pass mark and a fixed body of material. In the US that is a published list of civics questions, asked at an interview that is as much a test of spoken English as of the answers themselves; in the UK it is a 24-question test set from one official handbook. Pick the country you are applying in: the US track works through the official question banks and rehearses the interview out loud; the UK track works through the handbook's chapters and full mock tests.

General knowledge

Quizzes for the fun of it, not for an exam: the history and landmarks of American and British cities in old photographs, engravings and paintings. How well do you know the places you walk past every day?
