<p>I couldn't post. Sent a message to Roger and now I can.</p>
<p>yupp! CBSE is much better
i got deffered from jhu :( and i think these ****ing assoles sitting at the ACT screwed my app.
combined : 30; math:35, sci:32; eng & reading were so-so.
my friend took the april ACT, scored 32 and got 86 percentile and i get 97 percentile with just a 30 ! the oct test was damn tough but who cares? the univs will see the scores on a whole lot.</p>
<p>money-sucker collegeboard is much better</p>
<p>I don't know a lot about ACT, how do you comapre ACT with the SAT?</p>
<p>how many you missed on Maths and Science?</p>
<p>Did you get your ACT scores, abhi?</p>
<p>Not yet, when i called them the person on phone said that my scores would be mailed on Saturday; so i'll probably get them in the next week..</p>
<p>Well,I would prefer ACT ....coz we dont have to mug up all those words...and ACT has science too!!......the only thing is that ACT is a bad time trap!..</p>
<p>lol.</p>
<p>You only have to mug up words for the vocab section of CR. Its not like your whole SAT score is based on mugging words. </p>
<p>PS: I didn't mug words, I think I did ok.</p>
<p>I was placed 14th out of 41 teams from all over the world in the World Robot Olympiad. Do you guys think its worth it to put it on the apps?</p>
<p>Hehe.........when ur given only 10 days to prepare......then it is nothing more than muggin up....lol....</p>
<p>^...obiviously it is worth...(only if u think that it is a good thing for U!! dont go for what the others have to say...I mean...we can only LEARN from others.....and not make ourselves like them....then only we can STAND OUT!!)....hehe (just a little boring lecture....dont bother...;)..)..</p>
<p>abhishiv, math and science went pretty well. i thought ill get a 36 in science lol. i didnt miss any on math and science. may be i got the i^4+i^8..... question wrong. anyways, how is life going with 11 essays?</p>
<p>well lakshya, top 15 in the world robot olympiad is NOT a matter of joke ! if you think its worth, go and put it !</p>

may be the ACT is easier, but let me tell u issac, the time limit will virtually kill you. on the other hand, if you be aggressive and give the SAT with a little more preparation, you'll surely do good !</p>
<p>i^2</p>
<p>^....lol.......ya...ACT is definitely a time killer.....but the good thing is that it also has science.....</p>
<p>if you want science, go for SAT IIs which has a much higher impact factor</p>
<p>hehe.....ya..I will take that.....hey,one thing is for sure....no matter how much I curse this gap yr...but I hav learnt many things(cant help thinking that)....</p>
<p>SlimshadyInside: What's the postmark date on your score report? How many days it took to reach to you?</p>
<p>the half-worn stamp on the envelope shows that they posted my scores on dec 4th which finally reached me on 14th. most probably you'll be getting the scores by next week.</p>
<p>P.S. how are ur 11 essays going ? 9 days left ; )</p>
