CAREER COUNSELLING

[DarkEclipse]

In my school, they are saying that the dates of International SAT is January and May. I checked online and they listed March as a date for SAT I too. Can we give SAT in March?

Not usually, but just to be safe, check with your center.

Hey there, I was just wondering what sorta A levels Canadian Unis are looking for for Engineering Courses...

Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics with at least one Mechanics module, and preferably Additional Mathematics. Also, they recommend a fourth A-level, if you can handle it. Take Add. Maths if you can, Canadian universities like to see students challenging themselves. But take it if you are sure you can score a B or above.

Didn't take Chemistry though....took Physics and Maths and Geo and French cause I held the thought that Physics and Maths would do

You NEED Chemistry for any science related field. It's application in Engineering (regardless of sub-field) is compulsory. My advice is to give the Chemistry A level next year. In the meanwhile, build up your college application.
Alternatively, you could study any pure science major.

Would Chemistry AS do??? Because at the end of Year 12, I want to drop French, that'd leave me with Physics, Maths, Geo(all three at A2 Level) and either Global Perspectives and General Studies(at AS level)......you mentioned pure sciences, what sorta majors would I be looking at, Geophysics, Geology, or any Earth Sciences maybe???

Yeah, those majors are somewhat related to what I meant.
No man, you gotta do the full A level. In fact, the only university I know that accepts chemistry at AS is University of Toronto. In compensation for that, you have to take a fourth a Level science subject.
And I suggest that you drop General Studies, most universities don't accept that as an additional subject.

Of course. TOEFL/ IELTS is a must regardless of your grades.

But university website state that IELTS or TOEFL can be exempted if one has a minimum C in O level English Language. :/

No university I know has ever stated that. Can you show a screenshot?

[DarkEclipse]

That is a UK university. Look at what your original query was:


You asked for US universities.

MSU does not substitute TOEFL or IELTS with O level English. Clearly, you can't understand. O level English does not certify proficiency in the language. The subject and the standardized tests are completely different! If subjects would solve admissions, there wouldn't be the SAT or SAT II!

If I am only aiming for US universities then TOEFL would be enough,right?

TOEFL, and in some cases, the SAT as well. Or the ACT, your choice. The TOEFL is compulsory.

IELTS/TOEFL tests occur in June-August right?

I think that depends on the country/region.

 

[FAHMEED]

If I am only aiming for US universities then TOEFL would be enough,right?

TOEFL plus the Sat and in some cases SAT subject tests or ACT Plus Writing

 

[FAHMEED]

IELTS/TOEFL tests occur in June-August right?

No throughout the year atleast once a month

 

[Awesome12]

No throughout the year atleast once a month

What if the IELTS is given instead of TOEFL? IELTS is more internationally recognized, so is giving the IELTS instead of the TOEFL along with the SATs sufficient for seeking uni admission (I have disregarded other things like academics, extra-circulars...)
