My nephew Jan, now in Class 9, wants to go for his higher education in US colleges through SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) and has been after me to guide him how he should go about it. Why me? Because I love to blog on career exams!
My one-line answer was – please look for the information in the internet: the best place to look for is the official SAT site: www.collegeboard.com, since he would get all the authentic information from the official site. I also told him to take help of Wiki to gain in-depth knowledge on any topic. Than there is the best teacher in the world: Google!
But what he said was some thing very valid:
He does not want to go for it all by himself: since he is very young, there is every chance that he may misunderstand something and hence do the incorrect things. As always, an official SAT website such as www.collegeboard.com gives the information, but where is the “another” website which clarifies doubts and gives the information in a simpler way so that a Grade 9 student would understand?
There are after all many fake SAT sites, offering wrong/outdated SAT info. A Google search with key words “SAT test website” shows a result of mammoth “4,57,000” results! How can he choose the good ones? Also his current academic load is too much, leaving him with too little time and hence needs my help.
As a parent/guardian of a similar student as my nephew, you may have come across such strong arguments too.. what do you do in such cases? In my case, I had to succumb to his pleas and said – yes, I would try to help him in maximum way possible.
So my this blog post and subsequent few more would be devoted to SAT. It would answer such SAT related questions as below:
1.0 What is SAT? SAT Reasoning Test/SAT Subject Test
2.0 Why to appear in SAT?
3.0 What is the exam/test format of SAT?
4.0 What is a SAT score? How much you need to score in SAT.
5.0 How to register for SAT? SAT test registration.
6.0 Where to appear in SAT? SAT Test Centers.
7.0 When to appear in SAT? SAT Test dates.
8.0 How to prepare for SAT? SAT practice test.
You are welcome to join me while answering these questions – may be you would offer your suggestions/advices as a comment to these posts!
