我在新加坡接受過(guò)英語(yǔ)教育。我需要參加托福雅思考試嗎?
是的，需要。在新加坡接受英語(yǔ)教育的學(xué)生不能免除托福雅思考試。
4. I took the IBT TOEFL and have an overall score of 104, but one of my sub-scores is below 26 and the program I am applying for requires at least 26 on each part. Do I have to retake the TOEFL?
Yes, you do have to retake the TOEFL. The requirement is a score of 104 with sub scores of 26 or better. If you receive your test results and find that an element of your score does not meet the requirement, you should immediately make arrangements to retake the test.
我參加了托?；ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)版考試，總分104，但有一個(gè)單項(xiàng)分低于26，而我申請(qǐng)的課程要求單項(xiàng)分不低于26。我需要重新參加托福考試嗎?
是的，你需要重新參加托?？荚?。課程要求托福總分達(dá)到104，單項(xiàng)分在26分或以上。如果你拿到了考試成績(jī)，發(fā)現(xiàn)有單項(xiàng)分沒(méi)有達(dá)到要求，你應(yīng)該立即準(zhǔn)備重新參加考試。
5. I attended a U.S. high school for two years. Do I have to take the TOEFL/IELTS?
No, you do not have to take the TOEFL/IELTS if one of the two years has been within the last five years. However, you must submit a transcript that shows that you have attended high school in the U.S.
我在美國(guó)高中學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)兩年。我需要參加托福雅思考試嗎?

6. I don't have the required TOEFL/IELTS score. Can I retake the TOEFL/IELTS once I arrive in the U.S.?
Unfortunately not. The fulfillment of the English language requirement is one of the elements required for us to issue you a visa document. If your TOEFL/IELTS score does not meet the requirement, we cannot issue the document, and you will not be able to enter the country. So it is imperative that you retake the test right away.
我沒(méi)有拿到所要求的托福雅思成績(jī)。我可以在達(dá)到美國(guó)之后重新參加托福雅思考試嗎?
不可以。英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言要求是學(xué)校給你簽發(fā)簽證文件的要素之一。如果你的托福雅思成績(jī)沒(méi)有達(dá)到要求，你將不能入境美國(guó)。因此，你有必要立即重新參加考試。
7. I have taken the SAT/GRE/GMAT. Do I have to take the TOEFL/IELTS?
Yes, you do. While the SAT/GRE/GMAT are significant elements of your application to the University of Chicago, they do not specifically address your English language proficiency. So you have to take the TOEFL or IELTS and submit the results along with your other test results.
我參加過(guò)SAT/GRE/GMAT考試，要需要參加托福雅思考試嗎?
是的，需要。雖然SAT/GRE/GMAT成績(jī)是你申請(qǐng)芝加哥大學(xué)的重要參考，但是它們不是專(zhuān)門(mén)的英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言能力考試。因此，你必須參加托?；蜓潘伎荚嚕⑦B同其他考試成績(jī)一起提交托福雅思考試成績(jī)。
8. I have taken the TOEFL/IELTS and have earned the required scores. Do I still need to take the GRE?
Yes, you do. The TOEFL/IELTS and the GRE test very different things and are not taken in lieu of each other. That means, if you have taken the TOEFL/IELTS, you must still take the GRE. If you are exempt from the TOEFL/IELTS, you must nevertheless take the GRE. If you have questions about admissions procedures (rather than about the TOEFL/IELTS), please contact your department. The staff there is most qualified to provide specific answers.
我已經(jīng)參加了托福雅思考試，并且拿到了所要求的分?jǐn)?shù)。我還需要考GRE嗎?
是的，需要。托福雅思考試和GRE考試很不一樣，不能互相代替。也就是說(shuō)，如果你參加了托福雅思考試，你仍然需要考試 GRE。如果你不需要參加托福雅思考試，你也需要考 GRE。如果有托福雅思考試以外的招生程序方面的疑問(wèn)，請(qǐng)聯(lián)系相關(guān)院系。院系的工作人員有能力為你提供明確答復(fù)。
9. I received my secondary education in Germany and earned the highest marks in English throughout. Do I have to take the TOEFL/IELTS?

10. My TOEFL/IELTS scores are below the required minimum, but I don't have enough time to retake the TOEFL/IELTS before coming to the U.S. What should I do?
Of course, you should make every effort to take the test as soon as possible. However, you should also be in contact with your department at the University of Chicago to determine what your options are in regard to beginning your program later. Some departments may permit a student to commence studies in the winter or spring quarter, while in other programs this may not be possible. Knowing exactly what your options are will help you plan for the immediate future.
我的托福雅思成績(jī)沒(méi)有達(dá)到最低要求，但在美國(guó)之前，我沒(méi)有足夠時(shí)間重新參加考試了，我該怎么辦?
當(dāng)然，你應(yīng)該盡一切努力盡快重新參加考試。不過(guò)，你也應(yīng)該聯(lián)系芝加哥大學(xué)相關(guān)院系，以便明確在推遲學(xué)習(xí)課程情況下，你有哪些選擇。有些院系可能會(huì)允許學(xué)生在冬季學(xué)期或春季學(xué)期開(kāi)始學(xué)習(xí)，有些院系則不允許。因此，知道你的具體有哪些選擇可以幫助你做一下步的計(jì)劃。
11. I studied in Belize for several years. Since the University of Chicago web site says that students who studied in an English-speaking country are exempt from the TOEFL/IELTS, does that mean that I do not have to take the TOEFL/IELTS?
Unfortunately not. While the official language of Belize is English, only those students are exempt who have studied in one or more of a specific set of English-speaking countries. Those are the U.S., the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and English medium universities in Canada and South Africa. Someone who studied in an English-speaking country other than these must take the TOEFL or IELTS.
我在 伯利茲城學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)幾年。因此芝加哥大學(xué)網(wǎng)站說(shuō)在英語(yǔ)國(guó)家學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生可以免除托福雅思考試，那是否意味著我不需要參加托福雅思考試?
不是。雖然 伯利茲城的官方語(yǔ)言是英語(yǔ)，但是只在在特定英語(yǔ)國(guó)家學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)的學(xué)生才能免除托福雅思考試。這些國(guó)家有美國(guó)、英國(guó)、愛(ài)爾蘭、澳大利亞、新西蘭、加拿大和南非。在這些國(guó)家以外的英國(guó)國(guó)家學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生必須參加托福雅思考試。
12. I have worked in the U.S. for more than two years. Does that mean that I am exempt from the TOEFL/IELTS requirement?
No, you must take the TOEFL or IELTS. The University's policy stipulates that individuals who have studied in the U.S. for at least one year within the past five years are exempt from having to take the TOEFL/IELTS, but employment does not meet that requirement.
我在美國(guó)有超過(guò)兩年的工作經(jīng)歷。這是否意味著我可以免于托福雅思要求?
不是的，你必須參加托福雅思考試。芝加哥大學(xué)的政策規(guī)定，過(guò)去五年里至少有一年時(shí)間是在美國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)的個(gè)人，免除托福雅思考試，但是就業(yè)不符合這一要求。
13. I took the TOEFL in 2008 and I am applying for the fall of 2010. Can I still use those TOEFL results?
Yes, since the TOEFL is valid for two years you can still use those results.
我在2008年參加托福考試，正在申請(qǐng)2010年秋季入學(xué)。我的托福成績(jī)還有效嗎?
