1. Have you established a preparatory study program for your target country? Although some preparatory courses for studying abroad are "general" courses, pertinence is still very important. First, there can be a wider range of docking institutions, and second, the guidance for studying abroad will be more in place.
2. Understand the start time of the preparatory program for studying abroad and the successful cases of previous students' application.
3. Ask about the curriculum and teachers, preferably on-the-spot investigation. If TOEFL, IELTS, SAT and other exam-oriented training courses account for a high proportion, then this kind of preparation for studying abroad can be understood as a language training program in essence, which has violated the original intention of preparation for studying abroad.

In fact, the course of preparatory study abroad has existed for a long time. Preparatory study abroad has existed in China for 10 years. There are preparatory projects for studying abroad undertaken by domestic institutions, including public universities, private universities, middle schools and other educational institutions, as well as intermediary institutions and language training institutions.
As the preparatory course for studying abroad is a bridging training course, there is no institution like the Ministry of Education of China in charge of all foreign universities. Therefore, universities have their own understanding of the curriculum of preparatory courses for international students. Therefore, the curriculum of preparatory study abroad is not exactly the same. But the general idea is the same, that is, language and culture learning, thinking and communication skills, IT application skills, academic writing and other same-sex courses, as well as different levels of professional basic courses. According to the original intention of studying abroad in preparatory courses, normally speaking, IELTS, TOEFL, SAT and other courses themselves should not be a necessary part of studying abroad in preparatory courses. For example, students who want to study business at university (or master's degree) need to learn some basic courses related to business, such as management foundation, mathematics, economics and so on, in addition to the same-sex courses.
We should all note that the starting point of setting up preparatory courses for studying abroad in domestic universities, especially public universities, is hardly the so-called introduction of high-quality educational resources and academic exchanges between universities, but more commercial considerations. In some universities, the preparatory course for studying abroad is not the university itself, but the business education institutions are operating. It is difficult for students to distinguish these situations.
