Are the tests and examinations during the course of study difficult?
Most tests are multiple choice format and reflect a student’s reasoning ability as much as material covered during the course. Many professors follow a bell curve and grades are based on the relative performance of classmates. Professors and assistants are very accessible to students and many resources are available to every student. The success rate at American schools is high; once admitted, the majority of students graduate. For example, Harvard’s graduation rate is 97 percent; Princeton’s is 95 percent.
