I'm interested in applying to liberal art colleges in the States. I'm currently sitting for SPM.
May I know do people go for liberal art colleges after SPM or do they normally go after having pre-u? It's a little confusing cause I've seen people go right after SPM. |

QUOTE(mumeichan @ Oct 20 2013, 12:53 AM) Go after SPM. Hey thanks for the quick reply.  I guess I will have to start preparing for SAT and TOEFL then. But I guess I won't be able to make it cause some of the application closes in Jan/Feb. |

Thought I should share this here, it's about the major overhaul of the SAT exam taking effect in 2016.
QUOTE The SAT college admission test will no longer require a timed essay, will dwell less on fancy vocabulary and will return to the familiar 1600-point scoring scale in a major overhaul intended to open doors to higher education for students who are now shut out. Full story here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/educat...src=al_national And the College Confidential discussion link here Anyways, not sure if I should take the exam before or after the change. Seems like both have their advantages.  |

QUOTE(reconnaissance @ Mar 8 2014, 07:40 PM) It truly depends on when do you need it. Yeah that's what they said at the discussion. I'm still gonna take SAT, already bought the book so... Anyways, the newer SAT to be implemented has a great resemblance to the ACT. Just take them when you need them. I've gotten 2380 in my first sitting and 36 in ACT, without practises. So, I doubt there'll be much change in difficulty. lol, tbh, I can actually choose to sit for either one (or both  ), just finished SPM last year and since they require 12 years of schooling, I think I'll go for Pre-U first. That's really impressive btw.  |

QUOTE(reconnaissance @ Mar 8 2014, 10:05 PM) I'll say take it within this year, along with 2 subject tests, preferably Biology and Math II, since I've gotten 800 for them without practise. I'm confused here but both the subjects are easier? Is that the reason? Then, apply for early decision by the end of this year, and the UCs such as UCLA by November, and you're ready to enter college by next year. But what about the 12 years schooling prerequisite? We're only at 11 years at SPM level. Are you in the States now? |
