Silverturtle's Guide to SAT and Admissions Success

<p>

Already did, she knows nothing. My school is excellent when it comes to local decisions and information. It’s horrible when it comes to international (by international I mean every country except mine) goings-on and such, bar the SAT.</p>

<p>Supplementary questions: 1- Can I still take them despite my having not taken AP courses?
2- I just finished junior year, so I’m applying to colleges this fall. Do the dates for the tests suit me?
3- I’m mostly looking into MIT. Would you recommend going through the trouble of taking the tests? I know they’re not a requirement. I’ll also need to brush up on a couple of things - since we have no AP courses, I’m sure I’m not fully prepared for the test or its types of questions - and I might even be missing a few concepts that I’d need to study. This isn’t a problem by any means, of course, as long as it would help my application. Any opinion on that matter?
Disclaimer: I know practically nothing about AP tests so forgive me if I said something ignorant.</p>
