Scholastic Aptitude Test.

Scholastic Aptitude Test. by –nathan.
The whole world probably knows this (I tend to tell anyone that will listen), but in case you missed it...

I've gotten bored with the UK over the last few years (apart from you, Manchester - I looove you) and want to dump it. So, as it's the perfect transition, I plan to move over to that little 'America' place next year for college (then, like, stay there).

They don't make it easy. My British exam results don't really count for anything in the US, and so I need to take the SAT (and the SAT II ) in the next couple of months. Today - I'm beginning the studying.

So, as you'd expect, I won't be Flickring much (you can let your children out now - no more rude comments and suggestive images) for a few weeks. As I sorta kinda a little bit want to impress Berkeley and NYU with a nice high SAT score :)

/enter revision geek nerd mode...

I took the new ones two years ago (7th grade :-) and got a 1600. It's not that hard, you'll do fine.

You don't need the SAT for some of the underachieving universities in the USA. Of course, you might end up in a place like where I am.

Haha. Well, I get several physical pieces of mail (who knew THAT still existed?!) per week from said schools. Always fun to imagine myself and the hair products working together in rural Mississippi.

depends on the school, really. if it were just the SATs, then it's be really easy for the admissions departments.

the SAT stats for admitted students here are moderately interesting.

high scores are not a guarantee of admittance, any more than a lower score is a guarantee of rejection.

but higher scores are probably more helpful ;)

Saw this on the teenager photographer pool, good luck on the SATs =)

& I agree with mikefranklin. SATs aren't everything, factors such as extracurricular activities, talents, grades, and the essays on the applications also matter. The NYU essays should be fun though; the topics are somewhat interesting.

Anyway, good luck. Hope you get into NYU and Berkeley.

Apparently, never mind what, the grass is always greener on the other hemisphere of the planet.

So whatever made you leave the UK, all the best, you!

SATs are dead easy after taking a practice one. The SAT IIs are harder as they require an actual body of knowledge, not just vocab & logic skills.

Follow-up: The ACT is generally accepted in lieu of the SAT and is considered easier to prepare for, as it generally reflects knowledge & reasoning you picked up in school instead of requiring specific prepwork.
