High School to University?

Question

I am a 9th grade graduate, and now I will move to a foreign country for one or two years.(That means I'll be technically homeschooled) But I plan to go to one of the top 100 universities.

so:

1.What is the differance between ACT and SAT?

2.Best recommended textbooks for each subject?

3.Are there any ways to know how high I need to score in either SAT or ACT to get in my goal university?

Answer 1

Good luck with everything!!!

Answer 2

I'm going to be a Senior next year in the U.S. so...

1.  The SAT is required to get into college, ACT not so much.  The SAT is scored out of 2400, ACT out of 34 or something like that...I haven't and I'm going to take the ACT but for the SAT I suggest you get the Cliffs SAT Study Guide.  It's huge and START now practicing it.  I mean, I'm in the top ten of my class and I think I only got a 1600/2400 on the SAT...I started studying 2 months before the test!  Oh, and you can take the SAT as much as you want, it costs like $50 each time but try hard.

http://www.collegeboard.com  <--go to this for information on all colleges and what SAT score you need around (at least a 2000 I would guess)

2.  It varies on the level.  However, McDougal-Littel is a good brand for math (I'm going into AP Calculus next year).  For English there are many good brands.  History, I had a book called America, very good.  For Biology get Reese and Campbell.

I hope I've helped.  I've been through all of this college stuff so I know quite a lot:-)

My suggestion for u for ur home-schooling

Grade 10

Geometry/Algebra II

Biology I

Some history of your choosing

Some type of literature

A foreign language

Another subject of your choosing

Grade 11

AP Biology II

Pre-Calculus/Alg. II

Anatomy

Chemistry

Actually, that won't work because you need to choose subjects that pertain to your future career!!!!

oh, and DO  EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIESS...if you don't you WILL NOT be accepted to Harvard, Brown, Oxford etc.  Do as much as possible!!!

Answer 4

i sugguest go to the website of the universities you want to go to and look at what they pay attention to in an applicant. those tests are scored differently and they have different meanings to colleges but measure the same things. the whole recomended books... id ask your teachers they will be able to give good recommedations. i would say buy a few to make sure u cover as much as possible.
