It's seems a bit like a US thing to me. For the majority of European university studies having a high school diploma is enough to qualify. Even for foreign students, at least EU students, typically not more than a language certification. Only for some highly competitive (medicine) or skill-based (music, art) would additional testing be required. Are the levels of high schools so different across the US?
