SAT for applying for a medical uni in pak??

[XPFMember]

Assalamoalaikum!!

InshaAllah, I'm planning to give SAT. I might be late to start but anyways, I think its a better alternative to the entry test!?! I'd like to know,do I need to appear for Maths? or only sciences? And how do I prepare for them? I'm doing A levels now, and in the final year. Is SAT difficult? I've started with the A2 portions and finished quite a bit. I checked the NUST website, and it said that the SAT scores must be sent by the 10th of July. So when do you think should I appear for the SATs? and also are the tests for all subjects in a single day or..?? :unknown:

Please, I'm too confused about it!!
JazakAllah Khair!

Walaikum Asalaam!
I'm appearing for my SAT tests too, most probably by the end of November. Yes I totally believe that it's better to do your SATs & send the universities your score, because it's so much more better than appearing for hordes of entry tests. & also, you'll be competing against students who have given SATs & not the entry test.
For Medicine, you'll have to appear for Bio, Chem & Physics. Each subject is out of 800. & of you want your place fixed, score a 710+ in each subject. It's hard I know. But that just means, you're IN!
All the tests are in a single day, & no it's not that difficult. Especially when you've done A levels =]
You'll have to register through www.collegeboard.com I dunno how much each test costs, because I've joined Princeton Review in Dubai, & they charge all together for the tests & classes.
Good Luck!

 

[aquariangurl]

Oh err..it's $49 for each subject. =]

I've not anyways completed my A levels yet.... :unknown: and I won't be taking any classes as such, do you think, it'll be alright? and do I need to give Maths?

 

[aquariangurl]

If you're not applying for engineering, then no, you don't have to give Math =]
Ohkay, I'd suggest you appear for the one on the 3rd of December. You'll get over with a solid preparation withing 5 weeks of dedicated studying. & I'd say you buy those SAT books.
Not joining a good institute is a bad idea =/ Because you gotta be aware of the pattern & stuff.
But it's up to you =] Though I'll be more than glad to help =]

 

[XPFMember]

I don't really know if here I've some institutes plus, I'm having schools too...so I can't anyways leave school for SAT prep! :\

and Jazakumullah Khair...for offering help...Do let me know...which books I must use!

Anees Hussaain! Who can beat his SAT classes?
Like you said, you've already done pretty much of your A2, & as far as I know, I really bet you'll be able to cope up & ace both of them!
Barrons. Definitely.

Assalamoalaikum wr wb!

Which unis accept SATs?

And I just need to give SAT II right? bio chem and phys?

 

[destined007]

if you are an international student then many will accept SAT in Pakistan. Give bio chem and phy.

Assalamoalaikum!!

One more thing, if I want to apply on SAT basis, will I be considered a foreign student? or can I still apply as a local student?!

 

[destined007]

Only foreign students can apply through SAT basis. If you have to apply through local basis you will have to give aptitude tests.

 

[XPFMember]

Are you sure about it? Cuz on the NUST website, AMC in specific, it's said that locals can also excercise this option, i.e. , apply on the SAT basis?!

 

[aquariangurl]

Yeah, NUST has 2 options, SAT seat for National students & SAT for International students. So you'll be applying for SAT international!
For every other private university you can apply as a foreign student though SAT, except for AKU. & trust me it's SO much more better than competing with a billion brainy kids through the entrance exams!

 

[XPFMember]

But thething is I want to apply as a local not a foreign!! :S
