| Grading comment Robert, thank you very much for your help. I wanted to be sure that "ACH" meant "Achievement".
In Spanish I translated as "objetivo" because that is the way it is used to be called in Argentina.
Thanks! : )

LSAT
The LSAT is the standardized multiple-choice test required for admission to law schools that are members of the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). The test is administered by Law School Admission Services (LSAS) four times a year at hundreds of locations around the world.
It is divided into five multiple-choice sections viz., Logical Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning (Games), Reading Comprehension, Experimental Section and one writing sample. Neither the experimental section nor the writing sample counts toward your score. The registration fee for the LSAT is $90. Late registration entails paying another $54.
As far as the scoring goes, the exam is scored on a scale of 120-180, the average score being 151, most competitive, top tier schools will however, recruit candidates significantly higher scores. The LSAT figures are quite important and a key part of the application process. Each score you receive is valid for five years after you take the test.
To register for the LSAT you have three options, you can do so by mail, phone, or via the Internet. Web. Here is the contact information:
Law School Admissions Council
Phone: 215/968-1001
www.lsac.org/
lsacinfo@lsac.org
Besides registering for the LSAT, students also have to register with the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS), the organization that reports your scores to schools and compiles your transcripts. A 12-month subscription to LSDAS is $93 and includes a report to one school. International applicants’ however, typically need not register with the LSDAS if they have completed their undergraduate study outside the United States or Canada. Such students and applicants must register with a qualified agency for an independent evaluation of their undergraduate work. This usually translates into a complete subject breakdown as part of any credentials evaluation report, to check for basic equivalency. Here is a look at the tentative LSAT Dates (For this year)

MCAT
The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a prerequisite for admission to nearly all the medical schools in North America. The actual weight given to MCAT scores in the admissions process varies from school to school. MCAT is administered two times a year (April and August). The MCAT tests scientific knowledge in biology, physics, inorganic and organic chemistry, as well as measures problem-solving, critical thinking and writing skills. The exam is divided into four sections. All questions, apart from the Writing Sample, are multiple choice with four choices per question. The MCAT is over seven hours long (including breaks). There are two morning sections and two afternoon sections separated by a lunch break.
CLEP
The CLEP General Examinations cover five areas: College Mathematics, Humanities, English Composition (with or without an Essay), Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences and History. The CLEP tests cover material that would normally be covered in introductory college courses. The exams are given by the College Board and scored by Educational Testing Service (ETS). However, only accredited colleges may grant credit toward a degree. There are more than 2800 colleges and universities that award credit for CLEP exams. The purpose of these exams is to gain college credit, which indicates that one has completed the work for specific courses. Each college treats the scoring differently. This information will be found in their general catalog. CLEP exams are offered year-round, except for English Composition with Essay, which is offered only in January, April, June, and October. Each college sets its own CLEP testing schedule. There are also Subject Examinations that cover specific college course material. There are about 34 different exams, covering the following subjects:
* Composition and Literature
* Foreign Languages
* History and Social Sciences
* Science and Mathematics
* Business
* All exams are 90 minutes each.
