Part 1 describes five tests for undergraduate colleges: the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test; the Scholastic Aptitude Test and College Board Achievement Tests; the American College Test; the Test of English as a Foreign Language; and the Advanced Placement Examinations. Part 2 describes four tests for graduate and professional schools: the Graduate Record Examinations; the Graduate Management Admission Test; the Law School Admission Test; and the Medical College Admission Test. Appended are the California Senate bill requiring disclosure, and the financial disclosure data and additional information provided by the test sponsors which comprise 70% of the document.
