<p>Take advantage of your opportunity to study abroad!! You can take the SAT 2-3 times between the time you get back and the time you submit your college applications if you want to increase your scores. But your time abroad will give you so many great experiences, as well as juicy topics for your college essays!
[I suggest you take a PSAT prep book to read while there or on the plane, when you have the time]</p>
