My SAT practice is doing well, the first one I only got 1800 something now its around 2100~2200 not yet reaching 2300 or above though. I lose marks at the very hard vocabulary parts.
I’m not a minority in Hong Kong, I’m Chinese, its more due to my parent’s business failure that ended up bad, regarding other financial help, my aunt who lives in the US said that she is willing to help me with the necessities there. She’s a nurse there and has a green card.
Meanwhile, my DSE was well, was because I got a very good score BUT my Chinese doesn’t meet the minimum requirement. The reason I couldn’t enter international schools is because they only admit international students, for local students, I had to wait for 4 years to have a seat in class which would make me 4 years late of attending school. I’ve applied for the DSE hoping to be my backup plan, but this doesn’t guarantee my Chinese would be better because it really isn’t my mother language (The kindergarten I studied belonged to an international school branch so I received English teaching)
You see, DSE is not totally about scores, the minimum requirement is 3,3,2,2,2 and yet I got 1,7,4,3,3,3 that 1 is the killer.
