Exams are becoming increasingly common for our students: ESL exams, IQ tests, proficiency tests, knowledge tests, university entrance, … it seems that tests are becoming the determining factor of whether you KNOW something or not.
So, there is a huge industry in test preparation providers, whether you are needing help with your sat prep or passing the TOEFL, in Taipei you are sure to find someone who can help you – for a price.
There are even schools who will help you ace the tests you need, without ‘cheating’. Of course, one wonders why you need to ace tests unless you really have an aptitude/interest in the subject. Otherwise it is meaningless, … but most Taiwanese don’t seem to think so.
