关于SAT
我家女儿在墨尔本读书已经快一年了,她说不愿意一辈子在这个岛国生活,所以想去英国读大学。
但我家亲戚都在美国,我们希望她去美国,现在她也同意了。
今天想请教大家国内有卖SAT的历年考卷吗?因为听美国的亲戚讲,他们的孩子在7年级的时候就买SAT考卷在家做的。
如果上海没有卖,正好我爸妈年底回国可以带回来。
PS:我女儿在墨尔本高中毕业的话,申请美国的本科,还需要考托福吗?.

网上都有售历年试题(SAT)
不管在其他哪个国家,申请美国大学,都需要托福和SAT成绩的(要看各个大学要求,不完全相同),而不是仅仅针对中国学生的,在招生官看来,都是国际学生..

1.上海SAT培训市场,已经非常成熟了,各大培训机构,针对不同申请群体,各有特色.
2.各种培训教材,应有尽有,盗版,正规出版,从基础到高端,层次分明!从新东方各培训点门口的黄鱼车,各教育书店,到网络各大书城.
3.所有培训提升,归根到底是词汇量增加和阅读提速,无论申请者在哪里读书!.

年轻人会觉得澳村土气,而且将来机会不多。
不过,养老和读书倒蛮好的。.

IB是GPA平台,TF和SAT等是标准化考试平台,相互之间是独立申请要素!.

墨尔本的孩子大多数是考VCE的,据说考VCE比IB轻松很多。
我女儿去找他们老师咨询过了,老师说:不选最好的,只选最对的。在她们学校,11年级刚开始的时候有蛮多孩子选择IB,但能坚持到最后
的实在不多。
我女儿的情况老师建议考VCE. 在墨尔本VCE考试(就是我们的高考)英语和数学必考,其他就可以任选四门课。其中外语的加分是很高的。
我家厉特宝英语目前一般,数学算年级最TOP的,她的日语也是全年级最好的。(她们年级没有日裔)
所以,老师觉得四年后,如果她参加VCE考试,选中文加上日文的话,会有很好的成绩。(拿高分比IB会轻松很多)
请大家帮忙出出主意,我们这种情况申请去美国读本科怎样组合更合适?
1. VCE+SAT+TOFEL
2. IB+SAT+TOFEL.

很简单,作为留美澳大利亚申请群体,1选项在难度上比2选项简单,那么在竞争力上,也相对弱,挑战IB,当然是挑战竞争对手!如果你家孩子连IB都没有勇气挑战,如何去挑战申请美国本科等级!而你家长思维,想孩子读书轻松,又想孩子留学等级高的大学.即使在美国本土,高中学生是最辛苦的阶段!IB课程,不但是荣誉课程,更多是培养孩子主动性,批判性思维和挖掘各种潜力课程!.
厉特宝妈 2011-12-4 06:43
你说得对!我是一个太宠爱孩子的妈妈,这里先检讨一下----呵呵
IB必须选择一门外语,我女儿这种情况是不是选择日文比中文,将来更有竞争力?.
不二周助 2011-12-4 22:00
我认为可以考虑VCE。
1. VCE 的课,你不是在中国读,是在澳洲私立名校读的,绝对能和美国大学接轨。比在国内读IB更好,因为你们学校的老师,相当有水准。百年名校的历史,不一样的。精英高中,在academic上的成绩是放在那里的。
2. 其实很多澳洲学生在读本期间,选择去美国读2年也是很适应,很普遍的。
3. 如果孩子的英语程度不好到一定境界,在澳洲读IB会非常累。英语要求非常地高,那些活动也不能有一点懈怠,是很没方向。这不是我说的,最近问了很多澳洲高中学生,都认为IB比较烦,主要还是集中在英语和活动的难度。
4. VCE要考99分以上等于IB 43,44分。也非常不容易的。因为我以前有一个女孩,她基本是初中就迷上莎士比亚,英语实在优秀,考到了99.5分。我觉得至少要有这个素质。不过能选日语和中文是占优。数学好还是得益于中国的基础。
其实,你不用那么早做决定啊,小孩子变化很大的,她会爱上澳洲,上海的繁华都被淡忘。去美国的话,要去纽约等大城市,否则不是更荒凉吗?
准备SAT比VCE还容易,VCE不简单的,选6门课考不代表最终只考6门,可能为了高分会选8,9门考再选best six,那就可能11年级就开始考了。实在不行,也有时间和精力回上海培训SAT。9年级就去澳洲了,托福还会是问题吗?.

最近澳洲来的:
虽然亚洲学生的成绩普遍不错,但到11年级以上,会发现有些外国人好是好得来,根本无法超越,而且是全方位的Top。 coaching school他们从小就不上的,到底怎么读的?
精英中学绝对没有中国的初中教得深奥,但它教会了学生如何学习的方法,和怎样提高学习的效率,培养主动,自信,分析,思考能力。提高了学术,人际关系,和融入社会的能力。为最后二年的高中(11,12年级)进行高深教学打下了扎实的基础,事实上起到了事半功倍的成效。

这里有美国和澳大利亚的基本比较,很有意思。可以让宝贝看看。
[b]Australia vs US where it counts [/b]
WHILE the United States is the world’s superpower, Australia is arguably stronger in many aspects.
So how do the two compare?News.com.au has compiled the facts and figures to compare what really counts - the quality of life in each nation – and show you how your life may differ if you lived in the US.
[b]Pay and Porvety[/b]
If you lived in the US you would likely be paid more for a professional position and less for a minimum wage job.
You’d also find it harder to get a job in the first place – unemployment is nearly twice as high in the US and the gender pay gap is significantly wider. Australian women earn 83.1 per cent of a man’s average salary. US women earn just 77 per cent of what the average US man makes.
On the upside you would probably make more money in the US. In 2008, the median household income was $37,690 for Americans compared to $27,039 in Australia, in US dollars (purchasing power parity) according to the OECD.
However, you are also more likely to live in poverty in the US. The UN Human Povery Index shows that 12.2 per cent of Australians live on less than half of the median income, considered the best gauge of wealth distribution.
For US citizens, the number of people living on that amount or less jumps to 17 per cent.
[b]Immigration[/b]
Both Australia and the US have similar histories founded on immigration. But in the US today you have less than half the chance of knowing someone born in another country than in Australia.
Just 12 per cent of Americans were born outside of the US. More than one in five Australians (27 per cent) were born overseas.
For every 1000 people in Australia, there is a net migration increase of 6.03 people, almost two whole people above the United States’ 4.18.
[b]Education[/b]
More American finish high school, but Australians study for longer.
Australians spend an average of 21 years in education (from primary through to university), far above the 16-year average of Americans. But as you can see in the data above, more US citizens over the age of 25 have completed high school.
According to the US Census, 38.54 per cent of all US citizens over the age of 25 had obtained an Associate or Bachelor’s degree. More than 59 per cent of Australians had obtained an Advanced Diploma or Bachelor’s degree by 2006.
If you did gain a tertiary education in the US, you would pay much more for it – an average of $20,517 a year for a private independent institution. In Australia, that’s just $7902.
[b]Healthcare[/b]
The US spends more on healthcare per capita than Australia but many US citizens still suffer under exorbitant costs. In 2007, 62 per cent of people filing for bankruptcy cited high medical expenses.
Of the total expenditure on health in the US, the government contributes 18.7 per cent. The Australian government spends 70 per cent.
The top five causes of death are the same for both nations, with similar rates of fatal cancer, but cardiovascular disease is responsible for 1.3 times the number of deaths.
And respiratory diseases cause nearly 60 per cent more deaths per 100,000 people in the US than in Australia.
If you lived in the US you would be twice as likely to have HIV/AIDS. The number of people living with the illness is 0.6 per cent in the US and 0.3 per cent in Australia.
There are 2.999 doctors for every 1000 Australians, just above the US rate of 2.672.
[b]Life expectacy[/b]
The Australian lifestyle is good for you.
Australians live 40.8 months longer than our American counterparts, making it to the ripe old age of 81.9 on average.
Australian women born today have a life expectancy of 83.9 years, longer than US women at 80.8 years. The difference is similar for men with 79.3 years expected life time for Aussie blokes and 75.6 for Americans.
Infant mortality is also higher in the United States with 6.06 deaths out of every 1000 compared to Australia’s rate of 4.61/1000.

我们打算去美国或英国读大学,毕竟澳洲的本科教育不是最领先的。
关于医学院我在墨尔本听到的版本是,必须在澳洲受过中学教育。个人认为这是很有道理的,因为医生是要跟人打交道的,从小在那边,与人沟通的能力才好吧!.

普通的学校。
我女儿学校的老师也误认为她已经在澳洲读书很多年了,告诉他今年刚去后,他也认为我们在国内是读国际学校的。.
