<p>YAAAYYY Thanks Alea 
Tizil, watch out! you might just die due to too much buggy-eye emoticon exposure :eek:
@Both of you- sheesh yes. Me too. Preboards from 5th Dec 
and reg the ‘why me’ essays, they SO love praise na? 
Thankfully, i just need to write 2 of those!<br>
@Akash- chill re! Dont tear your hair out College acceptances are impossible to predict! Just give it your best, and leave the rest. (yes, today is Rhyme Day for me :p)</p>
<p>I suppose “preboards” are some kind of preparatory exam you have to take before the real one which should be the “boards” ?</p>
<p>Yep, exactly right Only, its a bit sucky for us, because we have prepreboards going on right now, which end on 30th. Which means we have 3 days to study for the preboards!
And its the PB report i need to mail as my midsems.
What reports will you guys be sending out? :O</p>
<p>I’ll sending my midterm results on the transcripts, preboard results will come out in Jan. That’s too late.</p>
<p>WOOHOO we crossed a 100 pages YAY us.</p>
<p>^Cobalt You applying to Vassar?</p>
<p>Yep i am. And well, its both bad and good- our pboards got preponed by more than 10 days, so no probs sending it in. Only TOO less time to prep :(</p>
<p>exams get “preponed”!!! i thought they only got postpones. silly me.</p>
<p>best of luck guys for your preboards.</p>
<p>If anyone need’s help with writing the “Why” essays, you could check out the last few questions of Brown’s supplement. Its “Why” essays are divided in parts of usually 2-3 questions. Answering them one at a time gives a good structure and flow to the essay. It helped me for the Engineering one.</p>
<p>Just putting this out there :)</p>
<p>thanks tizil. ill try and remember it for the next one year. till when ill be applying. :D</p>
<p>Thanks Tizil!! Ive been worrying about that coz ill only have 2 weeks to do my essays after the preboards!
And thanks Akash :)</p>
<p>Mann, Cobalt! You’re emoticon central <3 Im glad to have influenced you (; haha</p>
<p>so you have pre-pre-boards, then pre-boards, then boards !
Do you also have classes ? ;)</p>
<p>Can an Indian (qualified as an international student) take the SAT in USA?</p>
<p>Hahaha Alea
That’s the rigor they put one through ;)</p>
<p>@Veethiv: I don’t see anything wrong with that. You just get administered the US version of the SAT but that’s the only difference.</p>
<p>@veethiv: of course you can take the SAT anywhere you like</p>
<p>So “Boards” is the exam you take at the end of HS? What subjects are tested ? is this a national exam taken on the same day thoughout the country like the french baccalaureate?</p>
<p>Alea, Yeah its a final exam at the end of HS and its taken on the same day by all students in India. Subjects are those which you choose in HS.</p>
<p>And how is it graded ? you get a score or a percentile like the SAT ?</p>
<p>You get scores out of 100 per subject(; five subs total) including pracs and assignments. And then you get the overall perc (outta 100), plus i think national ranks.</p>
