Required Tests
Applicants should include self-reported scores and request official score reports from ETS. The official scores will be used to verify the self-reported scores. For applicants who have taken more than one test, the most recent scores will be displayed.
Note: We usually accept scores from tests taken within the last five years. However, ETS will only officially report scores from tests taken within the last two years. For tests taken more than two years ago, applicants must send official copies of score reports as we do not accept self-reported scores as the sole submission for older test dates.
ENGLISH PROFICIENCY TESTING (INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ONLY)
Applicants whose first or native language is not English are required to take a test of English proficiency as part of the application procedure. Caltech recognizes scores from the Educational Testing Service (ETS) www.toefl.org, Pearson’s Test of English Academic (PTE) www.pearsonvue.com/pte, and from the Cambridge Examinations and International English Language Testing System (IELTS) www.ielts.org. Applicants should arrange for the results of these tests to be sent to prior to the posted application deadline. Caltech’sinstitution code is 4034.
It is strongly recommended that students who do not achieve a high score on these tests or who have had little opportunity to communicate in English make arrangements for intensive work during the summer before registration. All international students are screened for English proficiency upon arrival at Caltech. Students will be required to take a non‐credit ESL course in the fall term if found unable to communicate adequately in English.
3、所需考試
申請(qǐng)者應(yīng)該自己遞交一份成績(jī)報(bào)告單，并且要求ETS遞交正式的考試成績(jī)。正式成績(jī)單將會(huì)被用來(lái)驗(yàn)證自述成績(jī)報(bào)告。對(duì)于參加了多種考試的申請(qǐng)者來(lái)說(shuō)，需要遞交最近一次的考試成績(jī)。
