<p>Because you already have one SAT I score I think you should take the subject tests first.</p>
<p>do the SAT1 in october coz that is the most important. then you can do all three subject tests in november to make the ED Deadline.</p>
<p>Maybe you should mention the state rank and not the national one, tetris. (I have this image of your state being full of math and science geniuses. Community conditioning!)</p>
<p>cheese, your school is talking about it already? Mine refuses to discuss admissions till September/October. Although I’ve thought about it, and I know who I’ll ask for one of my recs, but I JUST can’t decide on the other one! Is there any way I can ask all four of the others and then choose between the recs or are we not allowed to do that?</p>
<p>smartchap…I say December.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, because your first SAT score is already quite good. Unless you’re doing ED, in which case you have to get everything done by November.</p>
<p>In my school all kinds of jugaad is legal. I will be writing my own teacher and counsellor recommendations. They will just tick the boxes and fill in the other personal details.</p>
<p>I asked them in school the other day. I can get the teacher recommendations any time but the counsellor recommendation is going to be a big hassle.</p>
<p>Gurung, yeah, that’s pretty awesome!</p>
<p>@Quasi: Hmmm, so should I mention ‘Ranked 20 in Tamil Nadu in the Science Olympiad’ and tick the level as ‘state/regional’?</p>
<p>
You can do that. That’s what I did.</p>
<p>tetris: Yeah. Why not?</p>
<p>What would you write for your own teacher rec?</p>
<p>OK, guess I’ll do that then.</p>
<p>I’m also writing my own recs:P</p>
<p>I’m gonna tell my teachers what I’d like on my recs :p</p>
<p>I loves Amherst’s supplemental topics!</p>
<p>They’re the same as they were last year, though, which is mildly disappointing. Oh well!</p>
<p>I like them because they sync with my essays :D</p>
<p>hey, Hi everyone. I’m new to college confidential discussion. Just wanted to ask what the best way to prepare for SAT Reasoning tests?? </p>
<p>Acc. to me , Would it be better to have self practise and self study at home with those thick and fat books ?? OR something like going to some institutes??</p>
<p>Where are you from? Most of India does not even have a coaching institute. And those thick and fat books, they’re thick, but pretty dumb 
So don’t worry, I don’t think any of those books should take more than a week if you study sincerely.</p>
<p>I supposed it’s the metros which have the heavily overpriced coaching institutes…</p>
<p>My friend said he enquired at Princeton Review.A whopping(atleast for me) Rs.25,000 for a crash course of about 2-3 months!So,self study is the best.</p>
