[pirate]

is it possible to take these 2 tests in Ontario preferably in toronto in order to apply for university in the states? is it year long? or is there a certain period in which one is allowed to take the test? thanks also if anyone knows how much $$ it costs?

thanks in advance

Check with your Guidance office, SATs have dates scheduled year round. Theya re typically once or twice a season...

There is an online registration system that I did it through(Google "College Board") they ruen the whole thing.

for SATs.

i never took ACT, so i dunno.

They have about 6 tests each school year
October, November, December, January, March (*US and its Territories only), May, June

it costs about $75.00 USD including TAX and int'l fee.
they allow you to send scores to 4 schools with that cost then add like $7/school after (not sure, but its pricey).

they have a several education centres/schools in Ontario for SAT tests.

for ACT: http://www.actstudent.org/testprep/descriptions/index.html
i unno if you neccessairly HAVE TO take ACT.

You do NOT need the ACT that I know of on the east coast, perhaps some west coast universities will request for it. But east coast has only begun in considering them in addiont to your application. IN other words, they're a bonus.

Yes, it should be possible
Check their website or just give them a call
I live in Windsor so I just wrote my ACT/SAT in Detroit

In my opinion both of those tests were not that difficult
I didn't study at all for either of them and pulled off a 30 on my ACT and a 1380 on my SAT

Not exactly true. All schools in Michigan use ACT scores for acceptance, SAT is also acceptable however the main medium is ACT.

Here's a tip, don't sign up to write the test the day after Halloween (or any other obvious drinking day). I wrote the SAT on November 1, 2003. Being hungover probably cost me 40 or 50 points. In retrospect I guess that was pretty dumb of me.

really? cause i was planning to applying only to Uni of Michigan in Ann Arbor is the SAT even needed? Or is it mandatory with the ACT, cause if what your saying is true i can just take the ACT?

You'll have to check on that
I go to Wayne State University over in Detroit
A bunch of my friends applied to U of M and got accepted, and they all only took ACT
They told me they only have to take SAT if they want to go out of state for school, and even then sometimes ACT is OK
I'd personally call the school and check

BTW, a word of caution
I was thinking about going to med school at U of M Ann Arbour
Then their representive from admisions came to our schools and told us they don't take international students for their med school :evil:

One more word of caution, if your going to be paying international rates at U of M you are going to go broke, it's preety damn expensive

The reason I went to Wayne State is that I can drive accross from Windsor every day and I pay the same tuition the Michigan kids pay (good neighbour program for people from Ontario) as opposed to the 2x international fee

yea well i have family there close by i was planning living with them for a while instead of paying residency but thanks ill look into it, school in the states is much more expensive i think ill prob end up here.
