What's the SAT like?

The SAT test is divided into two parts, of which the SAT I part includes mathematics and English, with a full score of1600; SATⅱII ii includes other subjects, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and foreign languages (including Chinese, German and Japanese). , each subject out of 800 points. SAT score is the only score that American universities can get that can compare students from different schools in different regions, so it has a great influence on admission, scholarship and quantity. If middle school students in China want to apply for American universities, famous universities require applicants from China to provide both SAT and TOEFL scores. SAT is an aptitude test, a so-called "college entrance examination" for American high school students, but whether you can go to a four-year university does not depend on a SAT score. SAT is held by College Board in the United States, 7 times a year in the United States and 6 times a year in other places. The exam is in English. The SAT includes three tests: 1 and critical reading. In fact, there are not only reading, but also filling in the blanks, which mainly examines students' ability to read and complete sentences. The main topic types include reading comprehension, paragraph reading and sentence completion. Total ***70 minutes, three small chapters, two chapters of 25 minutes each, one chapter of 20 minutes. 2. Math: Math. Examine all kinds of mathematical calculation and thinking ability. The main topic types include multiple-choice questions that choose one of the five options and answers that need to fill in the step flow. Total ***70 minutes, three small chapters, two chapters of 25 minutes each, one chapter of 20 minutes. 3. writing: writing. To examine students' writing ability, the main questions are multiple-choice questions and a composition. Multiple choice questions are mainly about picking the wrong ones to see if you can improve your sentences and articles. The composition should have a beginning and an end, and you should have your own opinions. Total ***60 minutes, two small chapters, 35 minutes for multiple-choice chapter and 25 minutes for writing part. Each SAT test has a full score of 800 points, and you can get 200 points by writing a name, with a total score of 2400 points, starting with 25 minutes of composition. There is still a part of the SAT that is not scored, 25 minutes, which may be any of the three parts, but I won't tell you in advance, so you must complete all the parts. This non-scoring part is generally to find a standard for future questions. You can buy books in the bookstore in New Oriental. Even OG sells sedan, which is very difficult, especially reading. Personally, Seda is more difficult to read than GRE. The general reading questions are all college papers, which have never been heard of for eight generations. Grammatically, fill in the blanks like GRE questions, but the number of words is very high, higher than GRE. As long as the SAT doesn't need TOEFL, it won't work, because one is an academic exam and the other is a language exam. SAT is not needed, but TOEFL is necessary for international students! SAT is mainly divided into SAT 1 and SAT2. SAT 1 is required, 2 is not required. SAT 1 is divided into reading, writing and mathematics, with 800 points for each part and a total score of 2400. Main reading tests: immigrant culture, black issues, feminism, biology, nature, cross-cultural communication, art and social issues. Writing: I mainly write an argumentative essay of about 300-400 words on several popular issues in the society recently, such as my views on the Iraq war, my thoughts on the development of high technology, my views on homosexuality, etc. ). Math! I can cope with the junior high school level, generally from China, and it is no problem to get full marks after reviewing. SAT2 is mainly math 1, 2(2 is more difficult than 1, only for Americans), physics, chemistry, biology, American history, world history, American literature, foreign languages: French, Italian, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean ... You can think of any foreign language, but we in China can't pass the exam. You can take any three science exams in these subjects. The perfect score is also 2400. Generally, it is no problem to review 2200-2400, but the foundation is vocabulary (these subjects are all English, and technical terms are necessary). A complete SAT test consists of 10 parts, and the score, time and deduction standard of each part are different. You can't do it across parts in the exam. You must wait for the teacher to finish one part before handing out the next part. SAT needs a lot of English. Generally speaking, it takes about 10000- 13000 words to take the SAT, but only 3500 words are needed in senior high schools. It can be seen that the number of words is the biggest and only problem for a senior two student. Generally speaking, as long as you have a vocabulary of 13000, it should not be difficult to get a score of 2 100. A score of 2 100 means that you can't go to a super prestigious school like Yale except Harvard. You can choose someone else! However, this should be based on your memorizing 350-400 words every day! ! ! Then do a lot of real questions (about 20 sets, believe me, it's not easy! Next, I will say why) SAT is not an ordinary exam. For us, it depends on America. Secondly, the SAT was invented by Americans to measure people's IQ. The higher the exam, the higher the IQ. But it is so controversial that it was renamed as the standard for American high school students to enter universities. We call it the "American College Entrance Examination" after taking the China exam. It pays more attention to personal characteristics, wants to write this part, and has logical thinking-reading. The SAT tests the vocabulary of China people! What tests Americans is logic and mathematics (as we all know, American mathematics is very poor). Before you study, you must think about whether you really decide to take the SAT, because the SAT is too BT. It's horrible to study SAT while taking care of the big and small exams in China! A careless person can't do both. Generally speaking, students from China take the SAT in order to get scholarships from the United States. A student was admitted to Harvard, and the annual tuition fee was about 45,000 RMB, but his scholarship was 48,000 RMB, plus a free air ticket to and from China and the United States once a year. The coolest thing is that Harvard gave him pocket money! ! ! Think about this person's example, and you will know why the SAT is so popular in China in the past two years! Then you will have the motivation to recite words! ! The SAT doesn't have an examination room in Chinese mainland, so it's the closest in Hongkong. Others are Japanese, Koreans and Singaporeans. The time is 1, May, June, 10, 1 1, 65438+February every year. Top ten famous schools, Shatian and Yaozhong, you can choose the examination room. The exam time is about three hours from 8: 00- 12: 00! ! In other words, when you are doing real problem simulation at home, you should do it at this time. That's what I just said, why not. You don't have enough time now. All you have to do is memorize words crazily, take an intensive SAT class (preferably from New Oriental, and the guy who went to Harvard went out from New Oriental), and then take the exam in June 2007. If there is no TOEFL score, you will have to take the TOEFL after taking the SAT. Do remember! ! ! Be sure to take the SAT first, so that all your energy will be on the SAT, and your grades will naturally not be too low, and then you will take the TOEFL. You know, SAT is much more difficult than TOEFL. In the end, both SAT and TOEFL will do well! If you went to college in September, 2008, you must complete these two exams before June, 2006 17 10, and you must show your grades, so that you can start applying for American universities in June, 200617 10. They will send you the admission notice before May 2008. You can breathe a sigh of relief at this time, so consider a visa. This time does not include the SAT2 exam. If you have to take the exam, you can only take it at 10, and then send them back when the results come out. For your high school grades, you just need to pass the exam and get a high school diploma. But the usual grades in high school are very important, especially your average score, which requires more than 80 points in all subjects. That's basically it. If you decide to take the exam, start memorizing words! I personally recommend the GRE vocabulary selection of New Oriental Yu. Generally, we call it Little Red Book, which is about 9000 words. Just recite it! If it is normal, 4-6 times will be enough! I only know the six SAT test sites in Hong Kong (four more were added in 2007, I don't know) 1. International Christian School II. Shatin College (very popular, big examination room) 3. Hong kong international school. Yaozhong International School (very popular, small examination room) 5. American international school. The Chinese International School finally gave you a very useful SAT. The official website of www.collegeboard.com has a detailed date and place. If you want to register for the exam, you can only apply on this website. If you want to keep it as early as possible, it has a deadline. If the application is late, you will have to take the exam in other Asian countries. www.chuguola.com
