<p>Someone said that she took SAT in China last summer. Ive been trying to find infos on it.. but couldn't get much. Can you take SAT in china? and was there even a SAT you could take in summer in 2007? (july-august)</p>
<p>I think you can only take it in Hong Kong?... not too sure about mainland China though...</p>
<p>No, there aren't any SATs during the summer months. The last one before the summer is in June; the next one is in October.</p>
<p>I just tried out the online registration form, and China isn't one of the countries listed (I "registered" for the May test day; don't know if there are some test days in China, since China does have its own Country Code...) Hong Kong however is listed.</p>
<p>only those registered in international schools can.</p>
<p>i'm gonna take SAT in HongKong and there's nowhere in mainland for SAT.</p>
<p>Not in Mainland China. However, many students travel to Hong Kong for a day to take it. (Plus SAT IIs)</p>
<p>lol I know this is random but I heard from my parents that chinese students in China work extremely hard and are on a completely different level than US's education. Is that true? </p>
<p>BTW my family immigrated to U.S. when I was 4.</p>
<p>hong kong or singapore. im quite sure you cant take SAT in mainland china, else my friends would have done it.</p>
<p>chink182:
different level meaning higher? i think their solid fact-based knowledge is generally stronger (i.e. math, physics), but their critical thinking skills (i.e. historical analysis, economics) are probably weaker. for SAT, studying extremely hard doesnt automatically give you a 800 (or even close) on reading or writing. two of my friends are extremely good students in an extremely good school but both got only 600s in both reading and writing. sometimes, you cant learn EVERY SINGLE THING on the SAT. some come with time using the english language on a daily basis.
i immigrated to the U.S. four years ago.</p>

I think it's mostly true. From what I hear, my cousins spent over 9 hours each day/night in school and then homework would continue past midnight. I would have to say that U.S education is much more relaxed. This is probably why Chinese people work so hard.</p>
<p>I think "CHINK" is not polite</p>
<p>just go to an intl school.</p>

<p>You are very perceptive. But what is your point? It's the guy's user name if you didn't notice.</p>
<p>And if that word is not "polite" why did you type it in caps?</p>
<p>I know our CR average is 550. But I think we CAN get 800 through reading a host of TIME,economist not just Barron,Princeton Review...</p>
<p>No SATs in China, security issues I think. But some people take GREs.</p>
<p>Also, to the 7th poster, I'm not sure if it occurred to you but your username is extremely offensive.</p>
<p>^ agreed. .</p>
<p>My friend in Korea told me that he saw massive Chinese students in Korean testing center because they didn't have testing centers available (I think he said that it was forbidden) in China.</p>
<p>^True that. Many seniors at our school (Korea) applying early had to take it in Japan because evey single test center was full 4 months prior to the test :(</p>
<p>...massive Chinese students...</p>
<p>haha I think you meant massive numbers or a lot of</p>
<p>Speaking of which, many of the Chinese students from the mainland come down to Hong Kong which only has a few testing centers. The students here in Hong Kong (myself included) have had a lot of problems in the past years concerning the limited availability of test center spots. I actually had to sign up for Taiwan and go as a standby here in Hong Kong in June of last year because there was just no space. It's pretty bad. The girl sitting next to me in the test center in January was from Beijing which is a good 3 hour flight to Hong Kong. Poor guys...</p>
<p>But I heard that they are opening more test centers in mainland China and that international schools there are often test centers. They really have to fix this problem because local students here are finding it difficult to take the test in their own city! Many have to fly to Japan or Taiwan or even Thailand just to take the SAT!</p>
<p>My school counselor wrote many letters to the College Board regarding this issue and he said that College Board is working hard to address the problems but the number of mainland students still coming to Hong Kong to take the SAT is just amazing.</p>
<p>^ Mr. Picky =P. But yea, probably the reason my writing score is the lowest out of 3 sections.</p>
<p>In hong kong you can</p>
