exam preparation outreach program

 why epop?
The Exam Preparation Outreach Program (EPOP) gives people committed to community
service and the development of their country the qualifications needed to go to an
international university. Many capable students face difficulties finding affordable and
convenient ways to prepare for and pass university entrance examinations. EPOP aims
to address this problem by providing students accepted to the program with a range of
services aimed at helping them achieve their goals.

The entrance exam requirements can vary from university to university and country to
country so it is important to know which country and university you want to go to. The most
common exams we prepare students for are the TOEFL, IELTS and GED. EPOP works
closely with Student Support Asia which provides detailed information and advice on high
quality programs within the region, on their entrance requirements, and on sources of
scholarship funding.

To find out more information about university programs and exam requirements, email
studentsupportAsia@gmail.com or visit the www.myanmarstudyabroad.org website. There
you will find a lot of information about opportunities and counselors can provide direction
in your search to attain higher education.

The qualifications
GED
GED (General Education
Development Test) – After
passing this test, you will have
an American High School
diploma. You will likely need
to take this test if you didn’t
pass 10th standard education
or are applying to a university
that requires high school
students to complete grade
12. The GED tests not only
English, but Science, Math
and Social Studies as well.
EPOP can prepare you for
the GED and if you meet our
requirements we will provide
you an opportunity to take the
test in one of the test centers
throughout Southeast Asia.
IELTS
IELTS (International English
Language Testing System) –
The IELTS is British. The IELTS
has Academic and General
Training versions. People trying
to get into university take the
Academic test. The IELTS
is offered in Bangkok, Kuala
Lumpur, Yangon and many cities
throughout Southeast Asia.
The IELTS tests all four skills:
reading, writing, listening and
speaking. If you meet our
requirements after preparing
you for the test, EPOP will
arrange for your transportation
and accommodation and make
your IELTS test experience
as painless as possible.
TOEFL
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign
Language) – The TOEFL is American
and is used primarily to test students’
English ability who are trying to get into
university. The TOEFL can come in
three forms: Paper-Based Test (PBT),
Computer-Based Test (CBT), and
Internet-Based Test. The most widely
accepted form is the IBT which has to
be taken in specific testing locations
which are usually in major cities.
EPOP is a recognized TOEFL test
provider and we have negotiated
with many universities throughout
Asia to accept a paper-based test
called the TOEFL ITP which is
administered by us. This is good
news since traveling can be difficult
and expensive. The TOEFL ITP
tests listening comprehension,
reading comprehension, written
expression and structure. If you are
ready we can bring the test to you!
