International Quizzes

For Students

• Use these international quizzes as a fun way of assessing your go abroad know-how and cross-cultural skill level. Use them to discover new ideas on what it takes to be successful abroad.
• If you’re just starting to build your international credentials, expect your scores to be low. This is completely normal! Rest assured that all types of personalities can succeed abroad, and with a little determination and lots of curiosity, you will be on your way.
• Keep measuring your progress as you build more experience. Use our printable scorecards (Word file, PDF file or Student Excel file) to manually track your scores and progress BEFORE and AFTER you go abroad. Share your results with friends and advisors, and discuss your goals and accomplishments.

Good luck and best wishes on the road to international success!

How schools can use our
International Quizzes

• These quizzes help students to engage in self-assessment and to identify knowledge gaps about the go abroad process. The quizzes are not scientific assessment tools, but rather resources that provide context, support and suggested goals for young people in the process of building international skills. All types of students succeed abroad, and these quizzes should help students identify potential areas for growth.
• Use our quizzes during one-on-one advising. Ask the student to complete the quizzes before your meeting and use the results to identify the student’s level of international readiness. LOW scores indicate more study and international experience is required. MID and HIGH scores indicate higher levels of discussion towards future international career paths.
• Use quizzes in groups or workshops. Have students complete and submit quiz results before group meetings. Use the results to identify experience levels or to help form sub-groups. Students can be grouped by similar skill level (or by mixed skill levels) in order to promote discussion. The Excel file is particularly useful for tracking groups of students in a workshop, or students taking part in a group visit abroad.
• Use our printable score cards (Word file, PDF file or Student Excel file) to track progress both BEFORE and AFTER students go abroad, or BEFORE and AFTER a semester-long course.
