<p>plzzz lemme know too abt CET…i wanna try for bangalore…so plzz lemme know…is CET worth giving???</p>
<p>A lot of ppl have been using the expression “give a test”.</p>
<p>Isn’t it supposed to be “take a test” ?</p>
<p>This has always confused me. In hindi, “exam dete hain” but in english, we “take a test”</p>
<p>:confused:</p>
<p>wow merc you actually care :p</p>
<p>but agar mein sat ii writing de raha hota, i’d have gone with take a test</p>
<p>We take a test (atleast according to Mr 650 in SAT II Writing here :))</p>
<p>Sorry for turning this into a CBSE thread 
but:
From where should I practice Math?? My school pre boards are ****ed up, its sooo darn hard compared to CBSE board exam, so where do you guys suggest I practice from. I’ve already covered the text book Solved examples and Miscellaneous.</p>
<p>Any ideas ;)</p>
<p>Together with Mathematics, if you get that there</p>
<p>does it have loads of difficult problems?</p>
<p>just do together man! it has the whole gamut</p>
<p>if you want difficult, R.D. Sharma i suppose</p>
<p>oh and i got an interview for yale. gotta fix up the time and stuff tho.</p>
<p>good luck for the interview!!</p>
<p>And try R.S. Aggarwal (if you’re not using that already). He’s sort of an authority for CBSE math.
don’t worry no one will ■■■■■ about it (except maybe akash… but thats fine)</p>
<p>Hey ppl </p>
<p>1) Astrix, it doesnt snow here unfortunately. I live in a desert where the summer temperatures are high enough to boil eggs if you keep them outside ( for serious). Dry heat at its best !!!</p>
<p>2) Ya in India, everyone says give tests and i used it here for a month until too people’ s wierd looks make me change it to " take the test". I also got to know asking a person how was the test means you have not taken it, WIERD. ( you are supposed to say how did you do in the test?) </p>
<p>3) According to me and my friends in amity, RD Aggarwal and together were the best books for math till class 10. 11 and 12 is pure RS aggarwal for CBSE. ( A person i know used RS and got 98 in the cbse math). </p>
<p>oh btw congrats to SP ! I got acceptances to university of arizona and arizona state ( awesum basket ball and foot ball teams ) if they count.</p>
<p>acceptances tally:</p>
<p>adides: u chicago, georgetown, uiuc
ritz: harvard
gandalf: williams
nomad: u arizona, arizona state
lildude_ravi: uiuc and another school
SP (as he shall be known henceforth): university of york (UK)</p>
<p>i probably missed someone or some school so feel free to correct</p>
<p>it’s raining where i’m at. i like.</p>
<p>I also like rain!!! n its raining here… I m jus loving it!!! :)</p>
<p>adides: u chicago, georgetown, uiuc
ritz: harvard
gandalf: williams
nomad: u arizona, arizona state
ravi: uiuc, gatech, purdue, osu
SP (as he shall be known henceforth): university of york (UK)</p>
<p>And I agree with shikhar abt together with math if u need practice…
If you want good solved hard problems, then go with RD Sharma…</p>
<p>1) I go to a local shop at 7 in the evening. The sky is clear. I come out at 7:05, and it’s raining. 
I look up and I can see stars + moon + sparse clouds. :-/</p>
<p>2) It’s amazing how so many ppl got in at so many GREAT places! But I’m confused about how they did, I mean you certainly can’t apply EA/ED to more than one school. Do all these schools have rolling admissions? I know UIUC does but others (purdue, georgia, arizona, georgetown, chicago???)</p>
<p>3) Yes, Indian English is weird. Too bad it’s not an ‘official’ dialect of english like american or australian.</p>
<p>same here!</p>
<p>merc : Purdue has rolling admissions… n GaTech although they dont have rollin admissions “officially”, but if you apply by october, then you can expect a decision by december/january</p>
<p>Glad to know my format is being followed :)</p>
<p>more good news for me…my Pton interview is set up for some time next week!</p>
<p>just my two pence…</p>
<p>hello: I don’t think solving loads of difficult problems is not going to help you for the board exam - the board has a few fixed sums which it keeps varying a little bit every year; I think solving sample papers will be the best thing to do</p>
<p>your school probably selects the toughest problems for your preboards-I would suggest not worrying too much about the preboards and concentrating on the problems the board likes.</p>
<p>of the other books, I think “together” would be most helpful…</p>
<p>so with your luck SP, you’re going to blow the interviewer off his ( I’m assuming the his) feet with an extraordinary combination of charm, wit and undiluted genius and get an auto admit sign stamped on your app hehe :D. All the best anyway. So when is it?</p>
