# Do Hong Kong universities require SAT, ACT or AP scores from Indian CBSE students? Are there additional entrance examinations?

SAT, ACT and AP scores are generally not compulsory when applying through the CBSE qualification route. However, strong scores may support your application if the university accepts them. Most universities also require proof of English proficiency, which may be satisfied through IELTS, [TOEFL](https://www.collegeaccessprogram.in/blog/toefl-exam-all-you-need-to-know/) or another accepted qualification. Certain programmes may require interviews, portfolios or additional assessments.
