I have a request:

CJC friends, and GMUFC members, I'm planning to take the SATs soon (have to go decide when though). And I was wondering, do any of you want to take it with me? SAT I and II. Well, maybe II won't happen this year but you get what I mean.

The SAT will include expanded math topics, such as exponential growth, absolute value, and functional notation, and place greater emphasis on such other topics as linear functions, manipulations with exponents, and properties of tangent lines.

Important skills formerly measured in the quantitative comparison format, such as estimation and number sense, will continue to be measured through the multiple choice and student response (grid-in) questions.
-quoted from the collegeboard.com

BIZNATCH. Sometimes I wish I didn't drop math. This proves so troublesome. I'll probably have to take some ass-tastic math component in college, if I can actually get accepted. I mean, I still can remember (albeit vaguely) the basic facts and stuff, but AW MAN. I hate math =( World, you torture me so.

Yeah, so interested parties, contact me via MSN mkay?

EDIT: I feel so jaded. I feel like crying right now. I'm not smart enough, not financially capabable enough to go to an overseas college/university. I'm just average. Yet, I can't bring myself to accept that either. it's not true.

Why am I so set on pushing myself so far?

ARGH. BE SATISFIED WITH NUS, THE NUMBER 18 COLLEGE IN THE WORLD, DAMNIT. +(

Chill man. Chill. Okay I took the SATs earlier this year...a few tips...

1) Revise your sec school Maths topic. The maths is quite simple. Don't make careless mistakes.

2) Study for the English part. They put in an essay part this year

3) Skipping earns you more marks than answering a question wrongly. Just in case you didn't know...

oh hey! Thanks muchos for all the tips! I think I lost myself a bit back there. @__@

By the way, enjoy yourself in the US! That didn't sound quite right, but haha, I think you get what I mean. ^__^

Thankie! I took in Jan to apply for college...it still didn't have the essay part yet. I got a relatively okay store, but not good enough for a good uni. 1330/1600 I think, didn't really study for it. A score of 1500 would probably get you in most of the top Unis...

What's your plan anyway? Overseas or SMU? Heard that they still need SATs for admission.

Well, mostly overseas and for scholarship application... SMU doesn't require the SATs but like NUS and NTU they'd like people to take it. I don't mind going to SMU but it's still more of a business-management school and doesn't offer such a wide-range of courses to choose from. :O
