Matthew CP# 8

I met with Sultan on Tuesday for, what I soon found out, would be our last meeting. The last week of class, Sultan and many of his friends are driving to Tampa to take the IELTS test. We discussed what exactly the IELTS test was, because I didn't know and the best analogy we came up with was that that TOEFL test was like the SAT and the IELTS was like ACT. Close, but not exactly the same. Because we were on the subject, he asked me many questions about what the SAT and ACT were like because there is a good chance that he will be taking those some time soon so that he can begin college in the US. I explained the tests as best as I could, but the main point that I made was that because the tests are so unique, it's as important to learn how to take the test as it is to just know the information. I then pointed him in the direction of some books and practice tests that I had found useful. After that, I wished him safe travels back to Kuwait.
