<p>Your posts are very useful and informative. Do we have a thanks button in this forum? You would have earned a lot of thanks, if so!</p>

<p>Personally, do you think SAT is more difficult or ACT? I get mixed views.</p>

<p>Also, I had sent a PM to you a while ago. Would appreciate if you could respond.</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Hehe, what’s the point of having experience if I can’t share it?</p>

<p>I think Mrinal would be the best person to ask this since he took both the SAT Reasoning Test and the ACT w/writing.</p>

<p>Responded to the PM.</p>

<p>@texaspg had a good post about SAT vs ACT…scroll up couple pages.
ACT is more math/science oriented…more tuned to what you study in high school. SAT is more reasoning/aptitude based. The best thing to do is to go online and take a practice test in both. Also while I see lot of questions here and Tizil7 has been nice to reply, please use the other test prep sites as well in college board (sometimes just a google of SAT vs ACT will bring back lot of good posts).</p>

<p>If anyone needs help on preparing for the ACT, feel free to PM me. If it still matters, I posted a run through on ACT [url=&lt;a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/14467561-post198.html]here[/url”&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/14467561-post198.html]here[/url</a>]</p>

<p>hey all.
what all does the high school secondary report contain?
like it contains schools:
average marks
average grades
no of students getting a A
… what else?</p>

<p>Hi rew2402. I think that should be it. Just out of curiosity, what board do you sit exams of?</p>

<p>hey guys,</p>

<p>I’m part of the first 12th grade batch of my school (DPS BANGALORE). I wanted to know what all information do I need to tell my school to do so I can have the necessary documents ready when I start applying (things like transcript, etc).</p>

<p>please give a detailed reply, I need it. I need to notify them in the next week or so.</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Ppayas rew and me both are sitting for the ISC board.</p>

<p>Its a pain in the. … Neck I tell you :P</p>

<p>I bet it does not compare to the pain that A Levels are.</p>

<p>haha, you guys. CBSE ftw :p</p>

<p>Helloooo :)</p>

<p>Really long time, since I took a brief hiatus from CC! Anyways, 17’ers all the best for your prep and also for your 12th std.</p>

<p>Along with Tizil, who I guess has his eyes set on becoming a mod(!), I will be lurking here and there on CC. Since I have undergone almost all the panics, sitting in front of a computer typing really long essays, looking at acceptances, rejections, taking in failing at school, ask me anything. I am here to help :)</p>

<p>CC’s a great resource for all the college related queries you guys have. Its also a great place to meet and become friends with some really really awesome people :D</p>

<p>Once again, all the best, for your future beckons ahead :)</p>

<p>Hey phr34k! Glad to see helpful people like you and Tizil7 :slight_smile: The friend part, I wish everyone on CC knew that, I messaged someone from my area today thinking it would be a good discussion but the person was proper <em>reserved the remark</em>. Yes, I will be asking a lot of questions.
Thank you!</p>

<p>@Ppaayas- No worries man/woman. </p>

<p>Well the friend part is more of an accident actually. You never know, sometimes people are of different types…</p>

<p>I don’t know how A levels compare to ISC and CBSE though.
Still all above ^ headache.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for wanting to lurk around and help us, phreak! Tizil, of course, has been a very valuable resource. Which college will you be going to? :)</p>

<p>I second north.
ISC are like pain in the arse!
How can you even compare them with A levels. Hmph. You guys!</p>

<p>Seriously phr34k.
It’s nice to see you here. You 16ers are always of great help. :)</p>

<p>No, I won’t agree, the A Levels are hard and each subject has several components, Sciences have 5 exams each! So yes, they might be on the same level but not really less than the other.</p>

<p>Dates for the next SAT’s are out. Register yourself!</p>

<p>Thanks ppayas!!!</p>
