It is developed especially for Egyptian students in the American Diploma division. The EST is a computer-based test that measures the readiness of the students to enter university and assesses the level of students in Reading, Writing and Math. Who delivers the EST The Egyptian Ministry of Education and Technical Education (in collaboration with Pearson). Will EST allow me to apply to universities abroad The EST is an Egyptian entrance exam for Egyptian universities. Its results cannot be used forapplications to non-Egyptian universities until now. In the vast majority of cases, the American Diploma students are applying for an Egyptian university. But the EST Board is still working with international bodies to get the EST certification recognized internationally. How long does it take to issue the EST results The results are usually issued within two weeks of the exam. The students are emailed their unofficial results. If they require the certified report, students are given the opportunity to order any score report (including older ones) for a limited time after issuing the scores of each trial. What is the validity of the exam ? The EST I and EST II scores can be used for up to 3 years after the test results, Which universities acknowledge the EST? All national Egyptian universities acknowledge the EST. For private universities, please check directly with the university to which you plan to apply Note : It is worth noting that the official EST scoring does not penalize wrong answers. In other words, the total raw score is the sum of the number of questions answered correctly What is the difference between EST I &#038; EST II? EST I The EST I is designed to enable all American Diploma students to apply for Egyptian universities The EST I includes three mandatory sections: Reading, Writing and Language, and Math. The EST I tackles communication skills, comprehension, critical and logical reasoning; all these are basic requirements for a university student. The EST I also includes an optional essay section measuring students&#8217; language writing skills. Literacy Test 1 (Writing and Language): 35 minutes &#8211; 44 multiple choice questions Literacy Test 2 (Reading): 65 minutes &#8211; 52 multiple choice questions Math: 90 minutes 45 multiple choice questions 13 short constructive response questions Graphing or scientific calculator is allowed for some questions Essay (Optional): 50 minutes EST II The EST II is required by certain colleges (practical colleges like the Faculty of Medicine &amp; Engineering). The EST II is a subject-based test in Science and Math. The EST subject tests cover Math, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry, with each subject test taken separately. The EST II measures basic scientific knowledge, scientific reasoning, and higher-order thinking skills, proving the abilities and capabilities of the student to pursue education in specific majors related to engineering, science and health care. The choice of subject tests depends on the majors the students are applying for. Math Level 1: 60 minutes &#8211; 50 multiple choice questions (Graphing or scientific calculator is allowed for part 2 of the exam) Biology: 60 minutes &#8211; 80 multiple choice questions (Calculator is NOT allowed) Physics: 60 minutes &#8211; 75 multiple choice questions (Calculator is NOT allowed) Chemistry: 60 minutes &#8211; 85 multiple choice questions (Calculator is NOT allowed) Math Level 2: 60 minutes &#8211; 50 multiple choice questions (Graphing or scientific calculator is allowed) Standardized Test (Act) English Section Revise and edit a piece of writing Standard English grammar and usage Punctuation Logical structure Effective rhetoricACT tests your editing skills :\u2022 Fix errors in grammar and punctuation and to improve the organization and style of 5 different prose passages\u2022 Portions of each passage are underlined and you must decide if these are correct as written or if one of the others answers would fix or improve the selection.\u2022 Others will ask you to add , cut and re-order the text\u2022 Some will ask you to evaluatePeople will dig into their pockets or if they were to open their purses, and I\u2019ve stopped trying to guess.
