Well.. Staying back home with your loved parents aren't a bad idea..
They've been with you nearly all your life, and when you off for college, they're the first to experience an emptier home. All that's been a regularity in their life changed, with them not having to expect you almost every moment of their life. I've encountered many students eager to get into college, and shared that enthusiasm with their parents. Though happy along, most don't realize that they've been holding their emptiness.. This would varies with mentality though, but this is what I would take in account, as I would be happily endure a new life in a new world, with them at home facing the same old boring life. sleep.gif

And, where to translate the spm cert cos I never do before, commissioner oath ?

Just for the convenience of future students who are required to translate certificates or result statements;
I believe the best verified translator would be the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate (Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia).

I'm not sure what certificates do they accept to translate but above all, I believe they would be able to translate the certificates they issued themselves. wink.gif
Excerpt on instruction is quoted below.

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.

You can apply straight after SPM.
Some colleges don't even require SAT.
Even if they do, you still have the time.

Thought I should share this here, it's about the major overhaul of the SAT exam taking effect in 2016. 
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.  rclxub.gif

It truly depends on when do you need it.
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.

Yeah that's what they said at the discussion.  I'm still gonna take SAT, already bought the book so...

lol, tbh, I can actually choose to sit for either one (or both  sweat.gif ), 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.      laugh.gif

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.
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.

I'm confused here but both the subjects are easier? Is that the reason?

But what about the 12 years schooling prerequisite? We're only at 11 years at SPM level.

Are you in the States now?

Those subjects aren't difficult over the others, but SPM have most parts covered. You just need to supplement yourself a little more.

The 12 years of schooling is too vague for most universities. To play on the safe side, and of course, a better chance, you can admit yourself into pre-u for it. Colleges with long standing of Malaysian students require them and readily assess the completion of 12 years, but most don't because they do not at all understand the system. Riskier, though.
