The Skinny on the SAT
Well, the SAT examinations are officially over for this season. You will be able to take the SAT again beginning in October! For those of you who are in 11th/1st PUC, it is the perfect time to start planning your testing schedule. For students in 12th/2nd PUC who are planning to apply to U.S. universities this fall, be sure that you either (a) have a SAT score that you are satisfied with or (b) are preparing to take the exam again!
You have almost 4 months to study, so there are no excuses! Charis at www.satgourmet.com decided to use her love of cooking to help her learn - and use - all that darned SAT vocabulary. You can watch one of her cooking demos below.
