SAT??

gemini22g@2004-02-19 12:12

did anyone here take sat?

what kind of test is it? example questins are welcomed.

A postdoc's 14-year-old daughter who came to States 2 years ago took the recent SAT for fun and scored top 10%. I'm just curious about it. Is it really easy for Chinese? That girl hasn't fininshed her middle school. is it possible for her to apply for any high education now with that SAT score?

You know, I really hate the belief/idea that Chinese people are smarter just because they are Chinese.

hmm, dunno about that, but I'm 16 and when I took it last year I got 1% and 1%, with a score of 1550. Though another guy in my school got 1600.. heh..

I agree, they look to me more as over-achievers.

not just that, but I've also seen my share of (ethnic) Chinese students who can't get good grades if their lives depended on it

it's really about family backgrounds and such....generally our social circles are limited to those whose backgrounds are similiar to our own, so we see all these educated Chinese and think "oh every Chinese is smart", but that's just not the case.

That is true in any case, whatever the nationality.
