After you finish the TOEFL course in the summer vacation of senior three, you can spend one semester in the first half of senior one to strengthen TOEFL. It can be said that there are two ways to prepare for TOEFL. First, prepare quickly, rest for a month and study crazily, and you can get good grades. Second, a steady stream of water, slowly learn to improve a little. In your case, I think the second one is better. You can spend an hour or two studying TOEFL every day while ensuring high school study. This can not only prepare for the TOEFL test, but also improve your English level, which is good for your future study in the United States. You can take part in the model test review class or punch card class of New Oriental TOEFL in the winter vacation of senior one. Then take the exam at the beginning of the second semester. In this case, you need to register at the beginning of the first semester, and the TOEFL test place depends entirely on grabbing. If you are in Xuhui District, you should be closer to the selected test center. Listening to the students who took the exam in middle school said that the examination room environment there was not bad. I suggest you apply for the exam twice in a row if the economic conditions permit, because the first exam is often taken on the computer, and you are not used to it and can't play well. I can see that you are very ambitious. You should be able to get a good grade in the exam twice. If this arrangement is made, you must do well in the TOEFL test at this time, because the advanced classes in New Oriental will issue TPO (simulation questions), and it is not worthwhile to buy expensive ones yourself. Everything I give you has a shelf life. It's best to do a model test two or three days before the exam, which will make you have a better exam state. As for the specific preparation for the TOEFL test, I think the method taught by the New Oriental teacher is quite good. Some teachers teach really well, such as Jiang Qi (I took his SAT and TOEFL composition classes, which are really good), Ding Wei and Liu Hai, and those two female teachers who teach oral English are all good, especially Xie Yan (I don't know if her name is written like this). ...
You can start reciting SAT words in the second semester of senior one, which has a good root association. SAT words are ... smelly and long ... You should have perseverance ... You can ask me if you want to recite specific words ... Then you can take part in the SAT study in the summer vacation of senior one, and just read the advanced class directly. I was told that the basic courses were poor. Well ... I want to remind you ... about the SAT ... besides listening to what the teacher said, you should make official guides and real questions many times and find out for yourself, otherwise you will suffer a big loss. The SAT doesn't have an examination room in Chinese mainland, so you have to take it in Hongkong ... Of course, in theory, you can take it as many times as you want ... The SAT isn't held every month unless you take it that year. Then, since you want to get a scholarship, I suggest you take three SAT2 courses. I don't know if you know the difference between SAT and SAT (commonly known as SAT2). SAT tests reading, grammar, math and writing. SAT2 is an examination subject, and you can choose math 1 or level 2 (I heard that level 2 is more difficult, so I didn't take 1, but I only took level 2), physics, chemistry, biology, world history, American history, and foreign languages (if you are from China, you can't choose Chinese). Which one to take depends on personal preference. Most American universities require two, only Harvard requires three, but three will increase your chances of being admitted or getting a scholarship. Many people say that SAT2 physics and chemistry is the content of junior high school. They may be from other provinces and cities. I don't know how the textbooks in other provinces and cities are. In Shanghai textbooks, many knowledge points of SAT2 are things that can't be tested in high school or even college entrance examination. I took the physics and chemistry test of 1 this year. The topic is simple, but there are many knowledge points. Because I can't finish high school, I have to take an exam. I suggest you use Balang, which is very comprehensive. You can start preparing for sat2 after the end of SAT 1 in the first semester of senior two, and then set your own test date according to the arrangement of the school mid-term and final exams. SAT2 does not need to participate in training, and self-study is more than enough. There should also be a morning paper in the SAT examination room.
Then prepare the materials for the summer vacation of Grade Two, send them away, go to Grade Three with peace of mind, and wait for admission.
In addition, I have participated in the consultation meetings held by several famous American schools in Shanghai Middle School. As long as you are admitted to Harvard, Yale and Princeton, and your family's annual income is below $60,000, you can get the full bonus. This is what the school representatives said, and it is also written in their promotional materials. In addition, I attended an IVY concil dinner, and then I heard that Cornell was also like this. The material was robbed by others that time, and I didn't get it. I'm not sure about the details.
To apply for a good university, your TOEFL SATSAT2 score is more important, and your social practice, volunteer activities, specialties and a series of other things are more important. There are many tips about these ... it's not easy to eat them all. Let me tell you a few ways to get this information. You can attend seminars and lectures in some colleges and universities, such as New Oriental, where lectures are held all day. In addition, colleges and universities will also advertise themselves, and they will send you some books and so on for free. The purpose is to let you choose their colleges and universities. If you come to consult, they will be happy to tell you, and they will talk endlessly ... you can drag your parents with you and listen more. When you go to Hong Kong to take the SAT, your parents will get all kinds of free materials when they wait for you outside the examination room, all of which are issued by the institutions for further study. In this process, you can also find a school institution you like to study abroad in the future.
If you have any details, you can send me a Baidu message and ask me. I can also give you my email address if necessary ~
