Doing Well on External Exams at Y.I.S.

In helping you reach your success, I want to thank you for your hard work and another year of great results in academic growth.  Your external assessment scores demonstrate your excellence in terms other countries and institutions depend on to recognize your high achievement.

Foremost among these external exams are the Advanced Placement subject tests where one of our students last year earned a score high enough to be granted a full-year of advancement at a world class university.

Several of you have admirable scores on the College Board Subject tests that will help admissions officers readily accept your ability to enter your first choice of major area of study and top universities for professional preparation. Upper grade students earned several outstanding scores on College Board SAT exams, which along with your G.P.A. and courses in required areas are three keys to university acceptance.

Grade 10 and 11 students took the PSAT test, and you earned scores that predict future success and should inspire you to work even harder and earn higher scores on the more important tests above.

In lower grades, you have taken the Stanford Achievement Test and Otis-Lennon School Abilities Test.  You rank comparably with other American curriculum students.

I am very proud of your level of learning and your ability to show this to the world through your external assessment scores.

Keep up the good learning,

Mr.T
