<p>International student from Hong Kong
Oct 2011 SAT I (first time taking):
CR 610, M 800, W 620 (Essay 10)
Total: 2030/2400
Taking Subject Test in November, retaking SAT I in December.</p>

<p>TOEFL
Reading 27/30, Writing 29/30, Listening 26/30, Speaking 20/30
Total: 102/120</p>

<p>School rank:
Competitive school in the city
New educational system of HK requires 4 core subjects and 2~3 electives
Class rank only takes core subjects - Chinese, English, Maths Core (Somewhat equivalent or slightly harder than pre-calculus of US) Liberal Studies (A highly controversial new subject) - into account, which may drag me down to about 20% for low Chinese and Liberal Studies ranks for final exam of Grade 10.
Electives - Physics, Chemistry, Economics, Algebra & Calculus (Similar to AP Calculus) all top 5~10% for final exam of Grade 10.
(All estimated, as transcripts are kept confidential by school)
Relatively unfavorable performance as compared to Grade 9~Grade 10 mid-term exam
Subject difficulties & Curriculum:
