HI
How do you study for HSC and SAT at the same time?????????????
Can someone tell me the similarities and differences in the tests (like what can you study for both at once)
anyway...
is this a good schedule?
Around October of Year 11:Sit SAT exam.
Around January of Year 12: Sit SAT physics, Latin and literature
Around May of Year 12: Sit SAT Mathematics Level 2 (have I learnt this halfway through year 12 yet or do I have to wait until end of year?), chemistry and world history(maybe)
In December Year 12:Sit SAT exam again (should I do this earlier? like halfway through year?)
Time between May and December: CRAMCRAMCRAM FOR HSC

Why are you sitting both the HSC and the SAT? Doesn't sound like a good idea.

Ok... I take that back.
Do international students have to apply early action in order to receive an answer early so that they can attend their local university if rejected?
If so then
Around May Year 11: Do first SAT.
October of Year 11: Sit SAT physics Latin and literature
December Year 11: Economics accelerated HSC
January of Year 12: Sit SAT again
May: Mathematics Level 2(have I learnt this halfway through year 12 yet or do I have to wait until end of year?), , chemistry and either biology or world history.
After that: CRAMCRAMCRAM for HSC and put together early action application.
Should I do my SAT later than in January? Will half a year really help?

Yeah I know :(
I'm applying for Harvard and a few other American unis (DONT START)
If I'm not accepted, I'll go to an Aussie one.
Also, is it possible to go to a uni in England on your HSC? I know one girl that did but I'm not sure how...

My friend did her HSC and ended up getting 99.95 ATAR. She got into Harvard after her Christmas break.

I'm not sure if I should apply early action or just go through regular admission.
EA has less time to study but less stressful and RA has a whole year extra

I reckon the best thing to do is to arrange a meeting with your careers adviser. Make them do their job lol.

Lol. My careers advisor knows nothing about this :(
I don't know if we HAVE to do early action.
Can you do Mathematics level 2 in the middle of year 12? Have you learnt everything in it?>

Yeah its possible, but Oxford and other English universities has aptitude/entrance tests that you are required to complete . Talk to your school career's adviser if you happen to have one at your school to help organise for you too take the tests in a few years time.
