hi guys, I took the SAT again and I now have a score of 2070, with which I am very satisfied. Still I would like to see how everyone else did, so please keep posting nad informing others- theinformation may prove valuable. Thanks
I think english is the worse part. There are like millions of words to learn and I can`t understand the questions on the critical reading – I think it`s one and it turns out to be the other. Math isn`t hard and requires thinking not some logic that no one seems to have. I think if they remove the critical reading the test will be quite easy.
hi guys I am having my SAT on the 4th of October and I feel very very nervous about it. I keep thinking I won`t be calm and won`t do as well as I do on practice tests. I also think the real test will be much harder than the practice tests so the scores I have received on practice tests will not be accurate. I am practicing and improving my vocabulary every day but my scores on the reading secton are still lower than I want them to be. I t is not fair that colleges don`t use the writing sections, I have my best results there.Why put it if no one is going to use it. Anyway what do you think I should do? Any advises?
thanks lechuck,
I am particularly interested in Mcgill university.I know they offer scholarships but I can`t seem to find what they requiere and what documents should be filed in order for a person to get one/Is there any way you can help me? By the way I have 113 out of 120 on my ibt TOEFL and I am taking the SAT in october.
thanks in advance

thanks Oren, I really hope this will be the case because I am almost satisfied with my practice scores.I won`t refuse a bit higher score but I van`t tollerate a lower one so I hope they are indeed close to reality.thanks again for the reassurance
hi oLahav, I was wondering if you could find me an e-mail adress to contact with McGill because I can`t seem to find it anywhere in their web site.
thanks in advance
thanks oLahav that is pretty much exactly what I needed to know now.just one more thing.Here in Bulgaria we graduate in the middel of june, is it possible for me to apply in January if i haven`t graduated yet?thanks again.
Here’s a lesson describing the SAT Dates and Registration Deadlines for the 08-09 year. You might also be interested in reading about the actual SAT registration process in another lesson as well. :)
The most important requirement for McGill international admissions is completion of the credentials necessary for university admissions. A high school diploma (Diploma za Zavursheno Sredno Obrazovanie?) is a requirement.
However, you can contact McGill and ask them specifically, if you’re guaranteed a diploma at the end of June and already have the important marks, it may be ok, who knows.
hi guys all that you are saying makes Canada look like a perfect place for an international student.however can you tell me what do universities require for enrollment and scholarship, if they are giving one?thanks a lot
Depending on the School it often changes. Scholarships are highly competitive but reachable by most students.
Read out Scholarships lesson, hopefully that can direct you to the right place.
Required for Some: SAT Reasoning Test and SAT Subject Tests; or ACT TOEFL (internet-based test) minimum score: 90 that is info from collegeboard.com i think it can be trusted so i would like to know what is it they want
hi guys I`m afraid it`s me again and I have few more questions.I saw the page of McGill university in Canada but there are some things I don`t understand.It says that SAT subject tests are required for non canadian students.If so how many do they require?Is it possible they to give me a scholarship which covers most of my needs because my parents can`t pay for my education?
thanks
That’s interesting… I didn’t think schools in Canada asked for SAT scores! I wonder if I am mistaken or if McGill is unique that way.
I don’t know about how many SAT subject tests they require. Hopefully someone else here does.
he lechuck i think i can help you with the TOEFL. i had my TOEFL exan three weeks ago.compared to the SAT test i have done at home it is considerably easier. the reading section isn`t that hard, definetely easier than the SAT. the listening is clean and with no hard questions and there are 30 minutes for you to write an essay. what i had most dificulty in was the speaking since you have between 15 and 20 seconds to prepare your answer and 45 to 60 seconds to speak so the time issue is little pressing. everything else is not that big of a deal and a lot easier than the SAT. hyope the info is useful
thanks acrosstheuniverse this is exactly what i needed.thanks a lot
hey i know i am eligible for the SAT.however what i do not know is where the test centers are.i can`t seem to find them anywhere in the net so could you help me out with test centers for bulgaria. i already found test dates and fees.thanks
thanks JohnPhilipGreen the finder was quite useful.just one more thing.has any of you heard about Ohio Wesleyan university? how do you find?i found a few other colleges that fit my needs but this one kind of feel like the right one.at least to my instinct.can you help me out i really appreciate it.
ok thanks I myself am very happy about what I got on the TOEFL, even more it was my first attempt. anyway is there some place where i can find universities in Canada and choose some by certain criteria?something like the college match maker at collegeboard.com.I really appreciate the help you have given me info that practically changed my ideas about…..everything.it has never crossed my mind I could come up with a different prespective for my life for such a short period of time.so, thanks
Hi cappy_bg. There is the Canadian School Finder here on LearnHub, but their aren’t too many schools in there yet. More are joining every week though.
thanks oLahav, I will think about Canada. I already had m TOEFL and i have 113 on the ibt so I think I will concider Canada now that I know it is easier than USA.anyway do you think I have scored enough or I should redo the exam?
Hey cappy_bg,
According to Heather’s lesson on TOEFL Basics , the iBT TOEFL mark will be a range from 0 -120. So 113 is a fantastic mark to achieve. Congratulations! In this case, I don’t think you’d need to redo the test if in fact the highest score possible is 120, you’re not far away at all from the very top mark.
hi guys, I haven`t been on an SAT test yet but I wanted to ask what effect does the TOEFL score has on admitting. I am an international student so which is more important – SAT or TOEFL.thanks in advance
hi guys, I find it very difficult to choose a school even more when i know almost nothing about them since I am a foreigner so could you help me out. I am not looking for top but I am interested in something like genetics or microbiology.any suggestions? thanks
Hey cappy_bg. There are tons of options to study microbiology and genetics both in Canada and the United States. I would suggest checking out Acadia University. They have a microbiology program there that is really thriving. You can even find the program that’s right for you at Acadia right there on their school page . Let me know if there’s anything else you, or anyone in that matter is looking for and we’ll try to get you all the information you need!

Congratulations on the great score! I’m sure it’ll help you get into some great institutions.
I hope this’ll show other people that even if you don’t do perfectly well the first time, don’t get discouraged and try again.
