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.

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!
