<p>I'm Canadian, but was late for registration and instead had to register for Buffalo, NY, which is pretty much equal in distance to my canadian test centre. I think I may still be able to change test centres to Canada.</p>
<p>I was wondering if there's any difference in difficultly between the International and US test, or if there is any culture-specific material that would be on the US test. Is the test even different?</p>
<p>Nope. The test is the same. In every part of the world.</p>
<p>The only part of the test that's different is the essay question. One essay question is made for all international students on any given test date, and it is not administered in the US. Apart from that, there's absolutely no difference.</p>
<p>The Nov tests have different versions for US and international test takers.
I took the international test, and think it was not hideously difficult. The sentence completion part was a cakewalk.</p>
<p>I<em>dont</em>know is right. US students and international students take COMPLETELY different versions of the SAT in one testing.</p>
<p>^ Really? I didn't know that.</p>
<p>not the subjects though, i believe?</p>
<p>It makes sense that the tests are different; otherwise I would just arrange for you (in Germany, say) to email me (in NJ, six hours behind Berlin time) as many questions as you could remember so I could prepare.</p>
<p>I<em>dont</em>know , So , do you think the international version of the SAT is easier than the US version?</p>
<p>But then again there it would make sense that there is more than one international test, wouldn't it?
I mean, in theory I could just ask my non-existing friend in Tokyo to mail everything he remembers to me.
But yeah, it makes sense. </p>
<p>@King818 No. The subjects are the same. That one I know for sure.</p>
<p>I took the October SAT and I had the exact same test as a number of US test-takers on CC. The only difference was the essay.</p>
<p>The tests are the EXACT same.
the only difference is the essay question and the experimental section.</p>
<p>Notice the discussion thread exclusively for international students? We DID have different tests.
But how am I supposed know which version is easier? I didn't take both. But from the discussion, you can see at least SC is easier in the internaitonal version, since no one cried over that part as much as people did in the US discussion thread. And I'm sure I missed none of them.;P</p>
<p>HOWEVER, the math was trickier!</p>
<p>I have a friend from a international friend I compared answers with after the test.
we had the exact same questions.</p>
<p>the only difference was that he had a writing experimental and I had a CR experimental and our essays</p>
<p>Well, that means international students might not take the same test either!</p>
<p>Wait, is that "international friend" in America? lol</p>
<p>No, trust me, the test is the same for all students who take it. As anhtimmy said, the only difference for internationals is that they get their own essay question and different experimental sections.</p>
<p>^ and that sucks. International students are not exposed to standardized tests as U.S. students are, yet they have to take the same test. Plus, their high school curriculum is different. Puts them in disadvantage.</p>
<p>no the international friend is in Guam.</p>
<p>Sorry for my gibberish, the correct statement of what I was trying to say was
