The KAEC Testing Center supports Fulbright’s mission to promote understanding and friendship between Koreans and Americans through academic test operations.
Since its establishment in 1950, the Korea-American Educational Commission has been supporting Korean Scholars and professionals who will study in the United States as Fulbright scholars with the testing services and information that they need for admission to American institutions. We currently administer tests for students in grades K-12 as well as college admission examinations, including AP, SAT, PSAT, CLEP, ACT, TOEFL, GRE, and individual proctoring services.
AP are exams offered by the College Board and are taken each May. Some colleges and universities in the United States grant credits or advanced placement based on AP test scores. KAEC has been administered the AP exams since May 2008 for homeschool, self-study students, or students who are unable to take the AP exams at their school.
SAT is a multiple-choice, pencil-and paper test administered by the College Board. SAT is widely used for college admissions in the United States and is intended to measure literacy, numeracy, and writing skills that are needed for academic success in college.
PSAT is a standardized test administered by the College Board. PSAT measures what you’re learning in school, determines if you’re on track, and opens doors for opportunities to prepare and pay for college.
ACT, offered by ACT, Inc., reflects what students have learned throughout high school and provides colleges and universities with information for recruiting, advising, placement, and retention. Since April 2017, KAEC has been administering the ACT test in Korea.
TOEFL is an internet-based test to measure the English language ability of non-native speakers wishing to take college courses in English-speaking countries. KAEC operates 7 labs (total of 245 seats) for the TOEFL iBT test.
GRE is a standardized test that is an admissions requirement for many graduate schools in the United States and other countries. The GRE General Test is accepted at thousands of graduate schools, including business and law, as well as departments and divisions within these schools.
CLEP is a rigorous College Board program that allows students of a wide range of ages to demonstrate their mastery of college-level material in introductory subjects and earn college credit. CLEP offers examinations that represent courses typical of the first two years of college study.
ACCUPLACER is a series of tests that evaluate students’ skills in reading, writing, and math to help college administrators place them in courses that match their skills.
