<p>@tetrisfan: hey i am doing A2 right now. should i start preparing for SATII and SATI??? by the way i’ve started mugging up Vocab. hope that will work.</p>
<p>
It didn’t work for me!</p>
<p>btw, SAT II isn’t that difficult. I barely studied for 20 days(for all three subjects) and still managed an 800. Interestingly, I hated chemistry all my life(except Physical Chemistry)!So, a month’s preparation should suffice. Almost all the topics are covered in your high school syllabus.</p>
<p>can i take IELTS xams and get into good college???bcuz i hv found that many of the colleges take toefl only…</p>
<p>did i make a mistake by studying IELTS??</p>
<p>^Have u already registered for your IELTS ??</p>
<p>not yet…bt i took classes 4 it</p>
<p>whats ACT??</p>
<p>ACT is another kind of standardized test that acts like a substitue for SAT Reasoning Test.</p>
<p>
Which colleges would you call good?</p>
<p>thankoo. so do u suggest me to take toefl xam?? r toefl and ielts similar??</p>
<p>@ccprofile…good means like brown university,harvard and all…</p>
<p>and what about SAT…CR section is hell difficult…how can u do good in it???</p>
<p>@syno, make sure you have some safeties.</p>
<p>Harvard doesn’t even need TOEFL or IELTS. And Brown University will very easily waive your TOEFL requirements if you have a 600+ score ON CR portion of the SAT I.
I you have decided that you will apply and most probably go to US for further education then taking TOEFL would be better. However, if you’re planning to keep your options open and are thinking of applying to some other countries as well then IELTS would be the way to go.
Sorry, I really cannot comment on whether IELTS and TOEFL are similar as I don’t really know much about IELTS.</p>
<p>What portion of the CR are you having with. Is it the SC questions or the passage based questions?</p>
<p>the thing is i m not sure abt the visa so i hv kept an option.</p>
<p>its paragraph based…how did u perpared for it??</p>
<p>i m looking foreward to study architecture…so i really need scholarship…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I really agree with you lluviacon…</p>
<p>@cc and adhikari</p>
<p>i think physics has the most generous curve . i haven’t looked at the collegeboard book but the one i studied - the PR book- states that adhikari is right in the case of physics.(the raw score should be at least 60)
as for chemistry the curve is far less generous and i think it equals the generosity of the Maths II curve. (that’s probably why I got an 800 in phy and a 770 in chem)</p>
