Ah Boon, hope my this post can help a bit..haha.^.~

Let me try my best to clear your doubts! ^^

We are in the same boat i think..and we are having the same pressure, problems as well...T.T..one vry big different is that we dont have even a senior gone for USA under JPA.. or at least we can get some info from him or her more or less..Cause most of my frens here seek for their US seniors advices, info n it is pretty helpful..

Nvm, lets share what i know about TOEFL n SAT ba..=)..tat ENL n POL i dont know is wat la.,coz i m not taking that two subjects..

SAT - Maths n English..English tougher -vocabulary, critical reading, essay..Maths i think we still can handle..As I know how the way ppl around me here preparing for their SAT la..they really memorising vocabularies everyday..as much as they could..-.-''(i din't coz we are klt)..haha
hmm.we got writting class n maths class for SAT..about writting, the lecturer juz began with the basic one so far(normal)..the essay is really important(my fren said)...cause they wanted to test our critical thinking, whether our ideas are able to convince ppl o nt, grammar, skill on using the language, vocab n so on....n Maths is quite ok also..SAT Maths stress more on IQ ques...
Level : Hard *****


Toefl - we got reading, writting, listening, and speaking class for this toefl..@@"

Reading - more on public speaking n skill to manage reading ques..so far so good..dont worry wb u can handle this..the lecturer taught us the way to make use of the time, the skill of "scan n skim the passage n ques"..then, vocabulary also..ask us to do word bank...this lecturer is damn nice..!He trained us on public speaking..i m still catching behind...zzz

Writting - this one is quite manageable..Not really difficult..maybe my lecture hvnt gone in the tough part..

Listening - ZZZ..keep skiped n cancelled..hvnt had the class yet..

Speaking - 15 seconds to make rough, main ideas, points on the topic, then 45 seconds to speak..Quite tough..our lecturer keep trained us like the real one..but we do in group la..ourselve nia..i speak to my fren then he speak to me..with timing..but failed for many times..zzz...still cant used to it..-.-''

Level : Hard ***


Physics - zzz.....i jz realised i dont like physics!!!wat the f***..haiz..there is no turning bck..T.T,so i am just trying to accept, trying to like tis subject...haiz..Jia You lo..to me, tis subject is quite challenging o more to that i think since i dont hav interes on it..=( Nvm, try..=)

Maths - Ish!...again...the numbers keep trying to make me crazy all the time..dont like maths also..dont know why still choose engineering..-.-'' So far, i think wat the lecturer taught are juz basic..i have to get myself readied for the next n the next challenges...zzz..

Overall - My life here...damn busy n i think is tiring, to me..but i think i am slowly getting used to it...just i still cannot be hardworking on studying...haiz...i m the laziest in the JPA USA Overseas Students i think...(my roommate also..haha)..Anyway la..I hav to start to be hardworking...but sometimes really dont know where to start..T.T coz i dont think memorising the vocab is a good way of learning SAT to me..as i forgot all the words also a few days later..zzz..but now still got memorise la..a bit a abit..zzz
