主要的考试是SAT和PSAT。名校还要求两到三门SAT II,一般是英语写作,数学,和外语。女儿没有参加过任何SAT补习班。好的SAT成绩主要靠平时的积累。英文靠广泛阅读;数学靠理解力和认真。SAT的数学对中国学生都不难。他们的错误,往往是由于没有看懂题或者马虎。我在美国大学作助教时,改学生的考卷,发现最普遍的错误就是没看懂题。所以每次考试发考卷前,总是向学生反复强调:要看懂题,每道题至少要看两遍。马虎是个习惯,克服应该从小做起。我们从小就注意培养女儿的学习习惯,对马虎零容忍。发现她的马虎错误,都要严厉批评。所以现在考试中她很少因为审题和马虎出错。提前一两个月做些SAT练习,熟悉考试方式和内容,临考前再作几套模拟题。和她一起分析错误,从她的思路去分析,找出出错的原因,检查有无概念错误。从偶然找出必然,从特殊找出一般,再做有针对性的练习,力求举一反三,事半功倍之效。模拟考试同时作为热身练习,让她在考试时进入最佳状态。十一年级时,女儿SAT考了1590分,英文满分,数学790分。她还考了SAT II 的数学,英文写作,生物,历史,文学史和外语。都是一次通过,几乎都得了满分。
How to get the rank list for the students on high school? i ask my son, he never know that. I know it is different from China. Would you let me know? Also, math 660-760 is Harvard requirement, is it right?
你回复jstray的评论: "You are absolutely wrong!学校对此有监督。如果学生同时申请两个early decision的大学,就不会给第二个大学寄成绩。所以学生不可能同时申请两个early decision的大学。"
看了有迷惑:这提前录取和early decision不一样啊?
能不能告诉一下你女儿是哪年上的大学,看起来不像现在啊?

That is called CHEATING! Nobody is monitoring you behavior, but if they find it out, hehe, your admission will have a big question mark. I can not believe this guy even boast it.
I have heard the student only can apply one college as his/her early decision, Is this true? I saw your daughter applied two schools, Can you explain to me? Thank you very much!

回复goodParent的评论:任何长征都要起点。西谚云:好的开始是成功的一半。
此乃后话,容后再禀。

》In my family, I have several next generations are studying or have graduated from Harvard. So ... it's OK...
Also, students still need study hard at Harvard.
This is just a begining.
May be some of the universities in Mainland Chia have better studying environment than Harvard.
Anyway, it is a good news to you.
But please do not feel too excited!
Thank you very much for sharing your good news. I saw so many friends' kids have to say in the state. I wonder whether it is possible that I ask you more questions?
Thanks in advance

I did not think the early decision came out before 5pm. Did your daughter find out the good news 3pm the following day?

老有家長介绍进哈佛的经验,怎麼沒人介绍哈佛畢業后的成功经验?美国人不进哈佛也比你有成就,Chinese still 只會讀書. Wasting kids' precious time for parents' ego, sad !

I am wondering for one lucky winner, how many losers are out there. One more word, getting into Harvard does not mean everything. The real world is the final college everyone has to attend.
