Class of 2013 from Nepal

I think dec 6 is very near -so u must go to all the theory part even though u had to practice then tests first
which part to complete first, i am unknown abt this.u can ask those SAT II test takers who have experienced the case.</p>

<p>As regard to Maths II , it is as comparable to Maths I-so go for it instead of maths 1 and for physics i think its tough to complete questions on time.so need to work with calculations so far</p>

<p>@ Kushalpurie: gpa, sat, everything is nothing</p>

<p>Thats a lot of exaggeration man. you r being carried away a little. I mean they arent everything but...NOTHING..is too much to say isnt it?</p>

<p>I too need advice regarding SAT II Chemistry!!</p>

<p>hey guys.. can u tell me if re-taking SATI would be a good idea or not???
plz reply soon.</p>

I would strongly advise you to use PrincetonReview books. esp for physics and chem. The practise tests in the Barrons books were not very accurate. I found the actual physics tests to be a lot more diverse and more challenging than the Barrons tests. I didn't use Barrons for Mth II but I've heard that its mucj more difficult than the actual test. Similar with chem, I thought the actual tests questions were easier than the ones in Barrons.
But if you;re looking for contents more than the practise tests, Barrons would be a good choice. You wouldn't have those "cracking the blah blah " in Barrons though.</p>

<p>I think you should begin the test with the subject which you are most confident about. Math II is not as challenging as the other two and has less questions. If I were to retake the tests, I would surely start with math II.</p>

<p>ohh sorry.. my message was incomplete ..</p>

<p>hey guys.. can u tell me if re-taking SATI in JANAURY24 would be a good idea???
plz reply soon.</p>

<p>^^ I don't think all the colleges accept Jan SAT scores.</p>

<p>they hav the info on their site...most take no later than the jan SAT scores...some jus december</p>

<p>^^^

i know how much of a lazy bone u r...dun laf</p>

<p>the gramblingscholar is here</p>

<p>@everyone
me taking SAT II-maths 2,chemistry and physics on dec 6th.</p>

<p>I have felt that Barrons Physics is not as conceptual as Princeton-Should i review princeton again ?-which one did earlier test takers prefer and which one is the best one comparable in difficulty and concepts as real tests?</p>

<p>For chemistry, is Barrons chemistry sufficient.I have studied that and have never looked on Princeton?Does it matter on real tests?</p>

<p>For maths, should i prefer theory of barrons and practice tests of Princeton only.I will be doing princeton practice tests only .Is it ok?</p>

<p>Please help me - day is approaching?</p>

<p>And do graphic calculators really help?</p>

<p>I sat for SAT II in November. My scores were good but the percentile is like super low. Did anyone else take the subject tests in Nov? Do colleges look at the percentiles??</p>

<p>And one more question guys. 'A' in A level is equivalent to a 90% in Isc. Do the colleges know that?? A level students are definately benefitted then right.</p>

<p>^^^Who told u that??I don't think so.
80% and above is an A+(as far as I know)</p>

<p>i agree wid cui bono</p>

<p>Well..its 90% and above.. to be specific the midpoint average is 95% for A. There's no such thing as A+. And B is like a 85% average which is kinda cool for A level students. Is this how the colleges view grades tooo??</p>

<p>A is 75-80% n 80%+ is A+ in Isc.
till date there is no 90%+ in Isc. that doesn mean we are not A+</p>

<p>as for colleges, they just see the gpa rather than A or % as far as i know</p>

<p>What i mean to say is according to this equivalency paper we A levels get..it says that an A in any A level subject is equivalent to getting 90% and above in Isc ko or +2 ko subject. This puts us at advantage. Do the colleges know that?? Do they put weight on A level course as much as this Nepali board does???</p>
