Liza asked:


I have a 2190 SAT, 31 ACT, 3.8 GPA, lots of activities such as NHS, track, xc, nordic, and i’ve done a mission trip and a medical camp. What are my chances without the subject test?
I also am taking AP Calc (ab and bc), ap english, ap bio, ap chem, enriched physics, and government this year. I have always taken the enriched or AP option.
They say they strongly recommend it.

SAT test?

Pat D asked:


I live in Malaysia, and only a handful of people here register for the SAT exams. So forgive me for my lack of knowledge about the exams. Can someone explain what the SAT1 test is all about? Are there any requirements to sit for it? At what age can I sit for this exam?
