【正文】 稱SAT為美國大學(xué)入學(xué)考試是一個嚴(yán)重的不嚴(yán)肅。有吵作SAT 的嫌疑。其實，SAT只是“SAT 邏輯推理考試（Reasoning Test）”的簡稱。SAT本身的含義也和大學(xué)入學(xué)考試沒關(guān)系。對照中國的高考，人們?yōu)榱朔奖憷斫猓銓AT說成是“美國大學(xué)入學(xué)考試?！盨AT是一個產(chǎn)業(yè)，有出題單位、有考試單位、印刷單位、補習(xí)單位。在美國，光是補習(xí)單位就有兩家在紐約股票市場上市（Kaplan，和The Princeton Review），大大小小的補習(xí)單位與個人更是數(shù)不勝數(shù)?？荚嚇I(yè)務(wù)由College Board公司負(fù)責(zé)，出題由ETS負(fù)責(zé)。ETS是非贏利機構(gòu)?？墒?，ETS絕對不是慈善機構(gòu)，只是換個法來賺錢罷了。SAT考試考什么？好消息是，不像SAT 2有十七個科目考試，包括生物、文學(xué)、化學(xué)、美國歷史、數(shù)學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)2，以及其他的科目——SAT考試并不是測試您對某個學(xué)科課程中學(xué)習(xí)了多少知識。它只是一個測試您基本的數(shù)學(xué)、寫作和閱讀能力的考試。SAT數(shù)學(xué)考試?yán)锇稽c高中代數(shù)的知識，但是您很可能已經(jīng)基本上學(xué)習(xí)過SAT數(shù)學(xué)考試涵蓋的所有數(shù)學(xué)概念（而且考試說明里會包含大部分您所需要的簡單公式）。SAT寫作考試包括改錯題和一篇簡單的命題作文。改錯題考點包括簡單的語法概念如主謂一致、句子并列結(jié)構(gòu)等等。SAT閱讀考試包括補充句子和閱讀文章回答問題。閱讀考試的三分之一內(nèi)容是直接地（補充句子）或間接地（閱讀問答）測試您的詞匯量。如果您的詞匯量不夠大，您會在這個測試中面臨極大的挑戰(zhàn)。SAT考試?yán)镉泻芏嗌踔链蟛糠殖Ｇ嗵賹W(xué)校畢業(yè)生也不全知道的難懂的單詞?。ㄟ@么說也算一種激勵，這些學(xué)生也并沒有認(rèn)識所有這些難詞，但他們不也考進(jìn)了常青藤學(xué)校了，對不對？）所以參加SAT考試，除了詞匯和基本數(shù)學(xué)概念，您并不需要知道得非常多。很多學(xué)生曾聽說SAT是一個智力測試；就像一個學(xué)術(shù)智商測試，但它實際上并不是。SAT測試的是您閱讀和對基本數(shù)學(xué)、閱讀、和改錯問題進(jìn)行分析的速度和準(zhǔn)確性。注意我并不是說您能夠多深入地分析問題。事實上，如果您是那種喜歡深入分析事情和從不同角度思考問題的學(xué)生，您的SAT考試就麻煩大了，除非您能在考試的時候控制住這種花時間琢磨考題的習(xí)慣?？己迷嚥⑻岣叻?jǐn)?shù)的關(guān)鍵是：首先，學(xué)會提高您的答題準(zhǔn)確性，同時保持或者提高您的答題速度；準(zhǔn)確性第一，速度第二。這就是我們訓(xùn)練SAT的目標(biāo)，并教會您如何做到這兩點。SAT考試有多重要？美國大學(xué)招生辦事處的人喜歡說您的SAT成績只是他們考慮您入學(xué)申請的“其中一個因素”（其他還包括您的課程難度，年級平均成績，課外活動以及推薦信等等，順序大概是這樣的）。當(dāng)然，這并不是否認(rèn)了SAT的重要性，尤其是在申請競爭性強的大學(xué)的時候。美國大學(xué)要對來自全國——甚至世界各地區(qū)數(shù)千所學(xué)校的眾多學(xué)生進(jìn)行比較，每所學(xué)校都設(shè)置不同的課程和評分系統(tǒng)，因此招生人員覺得他們需要一個統(tǒng)一的“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”來做有意義的衡量和比較。大學(xué)在衡量中學(xué)年級平均成績時的一個難點是分?jǐn)?shù)的不斷膨脹：今年四年級生GPA的平均分比上一屆要高出一個百分點。您可以這樣來看待SAT：一個非常差的SAT成績會極大降低您的申請成功率，而一個非常好的SAT成績則會大大提高您的機會，而在這兩個極端中間，您的SAT成績的重要性則要看您申請的大學(xué)的競爭性有多大以及您的競爭對手有多強。至少，您會希望您的SAT成績足夠好到不至于讓您的其他申請條件貶值。第五篇：國外研究生申請ps finance專題Personal StatementLife could be grand and it could be makes us different from others is the dream concealed in each mon my point of view, we need to made fullest of each day and try our best to make life release its true is my outlook of life and also it could be the guiding theories for me to choose to apply for the Master of Finance in your world known Macau University of science and am /////majoring in years39。 undergraduate study makes me confident in my academic accumulation and intellectual outstanding academic record is the best proof, I maintained a GPA no less than this period of learning, I am gradually interested in finance, banking, security and investments also attract September of 2012,I was admit as Postgraduate Candidates Exempt from Admission Exam in ///// University, which means I could have opportunity to pay free for further study in China, but I gave up considered carefully, I realize what I want in future and I feel every cell in my blood is yelling at a new culture and a new decide to pursue my dream finally, even if at expense of costly tuition and unpredicted future to myself and my order to improve my practical research capacity besides the academic knowledge inclass, I take chance to make research on the travel marketing in the region of Guangxi, which is famous for its beautiful natural conduct it from several aspects: the contact of the region with the nearby cities including the southeastern Asia countries。the real value of the travelling and trade resource and the potential resources to be explored。the method of developing the customers and marketing a team leader, I obtain a lot about how to organize my team members to carry out our research and also enhance my problemsolving love this kind of ignites my great longing to study in your am now in the process of doing a research of The relationship between house prices and employments of graduates, which belongs to Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Graduates Innovation Training much information and integrating all kinds of materials and bibliographies and to make it out in the form of paper, I feel I am immersed in the process of times and I could get the joy from the bottom of my know I may well encounter all kinds of adversities in my academic pursuing。I would still try my best to make believe the more challenge the more progress, the more progress, the nearer I39。ll be with my I would hug all the presents life bestows me regardless of happiness or of those are the gradient for me to grow in my last, I am fully appreciated for your effort in processing my application hope you could give me the chance to go and I would prove myself to be an asset and dedicate to the field I am in.
