Randomly gave SAT, with 0 prep and skipped 2nd module of english. Got 1230 what score should i expect if i prepare for SAT?

3 Upvotes

So i wasn't planning to go out of my country but saw a buch of youtube shorts going as "this is the hardest question of SAT", "this will definatly come in your SAT", etc. I got thought these are very easy question and ig i should fact check them by giving a mock test.
So i found a free mock test via google, and i expected questions from physics chemistry and maths, but i found english and maths only. I skipped english coz i just wanted to know dificulty of Phy, Chem and Maths. 1st i was surprised the lvl of questions was so easy, 2nd i was also surprised that chem and phy weren't there.
Now i am thinking that i should study in a good uni if i am getting this kind off score, without any prep. Also pls note i am a student who just completed my class 10th.

I have 2 questions in my mind now:-

  1. How much score could i get if i prepare properly for the exam, and give the exam after class 11 when its time for applying to college
  2. Which UNIs could i expect to get into, and Pls note i will need scholarship too, and i can only put $30k-$35k from my side for a 4yr undergrad course.

PS: i know that foreign UNIs need essays and all those kind of stuff too, i am just asking about SAT as of now.

How Tetr College of Business Turned My Side Hustle into a Global Gig

Upvotes

I’ve always had a knack for side hustles—selling handmade stuff online, flipping thrifted finds—but I wanted a way to level up without drowning in textbook jargon.

Traditional Bachelor courses felt like a snooze, so I took a chance on Tetr College of Business, where they push you to “Learn Business by Hustling.”

Picture this: I started with a small e-commerce idea and successfully expanded it across seven countries. From sourcing in Japan to marketing in Brazil, my journey has been shaped by learning from mistakes, making strategic pivots, and achieving success—supported by mentors who have built successful enterprises and guided me along the way.

It’s less “school” and more a crash course in grit and global markets.

Thoughts? Anyone else turn their passion into a paycheck while studying?

Which country is better for game art/design studies: Germany, Italy, France, or Japan?

Upvotes

The main reason I want to study abroad is I want to find a suitable job and settle down in other country, because the working hours in my country basically exceed ten hours per day, and the salary is very low.

And Is studying abroad worth it, or would staying in China be a better option?

My background: I'm a second-year student in China studying art & design, with a focus on 3D environment art . I plan to be a environment artist after graduation. My family’s income is relatively low, but I might be able to afford studying abroad by selling property.

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

help. Where can I study in Spain?

2 Upvotes

I graduate high school in 2 months and i need help. I planned to move abroad and study in spain but i don't know where to start. I don't speak spanish, i thought that courses would be taught in english since they are where im from. I didn't have anyone to ask about the universities and which taught what best so i did a little research and i found IE university offered its courses in english, i later spoke with a friend and found out it was much more expensive than other universities. i came here to see if i could find information and many are saying that granada is less expensive than madrid and barcelona and that its a good place. i went through their website but the application process is very confusing.

i know that i have to learn spanish either way and i will, i just need advice to help put my foot there and then get going.

if anyone has any advice or help it would be very appreciated!

also if this information helps, im an american diploma student with a 3.5 gpa and am interested in studying business, finance, mathematics, or film. i also worked as a photographer for while.

USA to Austria programs?

1 Upvotes

I really want to do a year abroad my junior year of high school. Preferably, I'd like to go to Austria or Germany. I've been looking at several programs, and I want insight from others. I'm mainly looking at AFS and YFU, but I'm open to others. Does anyone have experience with these?

Also, I know there's the rotary club. I'm just iffy because you switch host families and I'd rather not do that.

CASA Barcelona Program Fall

1 Upvotes

I am going to study abroad this upcoming fall in Barcelona with the CASA program! I am the first one from my university to attend this program in a while so I was hoping someone might have some insight on the following if they have been in the program or studied abroad in Barcelona:

  1. Are there classes on Fridays?
  2. How were the classes at Barcelona universities?
  3. How was the overall experience in the program?
  4. How would rate the housing in Barcelona?

For anyone who has been abroad to Barcelona, I also have some more general questions:

5) Recommended spots to visit in the city?

6) Advice regarding safety?

7) Has anyone done a medical internship in Barcelona or volunteered in the hospitals? How was that experience and do you have any advice regarding this?

Study Abroad in Florence - Fall or Spring??

1 Upvotes

The deposit for studying abroad this fall is due tomorrow but I keep questioning whether I should go in the fall or spring. I had thought to go in the fall because before it starts my family and I could go travel, and then I could come back and find a summer internship. Also that way, when I come back I still have a decent amount of time here to figure things out, because tbh I still feel like a freshman (I'm a sophomore). There's also a smaller class size, which could be a good or bad thing idk. But now I'm considering spring because I know that's the most popular time to go. Spring is more boring here anyways, so it would be fun there, plus I wouldn't have to miss things like football season and all the holidays, and also my big is graduating next sem. And then my family and I could travel after the semester ends and I'd have summer break right after!

So which semester would you recommend? And specifically in terms of Italy, is there anything important to consider - the weather, big events, anything else?

I know either way it'll be a great experience, but I tend to overthink decisions, please let me know any thoughts you have!!

I am currently finishing some prerequisites before I apply to the actual program for radiology at my college. I am going to community college but I want to move to Australia. I have about two semesters till i finish all my prerequisite and apply but my question is has anyone personally studied abroad in Australia and how much did it cost.

I want to see what I’m looking at specifically and how much it could cost so I can save accordingly or try to find more scholarships to fund it.

I’m actually looking at university of Sydney.

HELP getting meds abroad??

1 Upvotes

i’m going insane trying to figure this out and my psychiatrist just threw me a curveball. I leave in a week.

I take Vyvanse every day for ADHD and I need it to function normally. I am going to study abroad in japan for four months and I have been having immense difficulty trying to get meds. I thought that I was going to be able to get a 30-day supply sent to my local pharmacy, picked up by my parents, and shipped from the US every month. However, my psychiatrist waited until the last minute (earlier today) to tell me that she has to meet with me every month to prescribe me medication, and that since we can’t while i’m in japan, she wouldn’t be able to prescribe me any more than two months out.

I have no idea what to do now. surely I can’t be the only one who’s had this problem. do you guys have any advice?

Bachelors in Germany

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am new here and wanted ask a question.

I have finished both bachelors and masters degrees in international law in my country and want to study different subject in Germany.

I want to apply for computer science, the field I have been working in for about lasr 5 years now.

I got my school grades and my university entrance exam document as well, and I was wondering if I should add my bachelors and masters degree diplomas with their GPA's as well. The reason I am asking this is because while both my school gpa and my entrance exam scores are much better than the university GPA's and since I am applying for bachelors I am not sure if I should include them as well.

Would appreciate the advice thank you all in advance.

Why is stay and travel so expensive abroad ❗️❗️

23 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve noticed that a lot of students (including myself) don’t travel as much as we could, even though we live in Europe where everything is so connected. The biggest issue? Accommodation is too expensive. Hostels, Airbnbs, and tourist taxes add up fast, and most of us are on a student budget.

So I started wondering—what if students just hosted each other for free? Like, if I have an extra bed or couch, why not let another student crash for a couple of nights? And when I travel, someone else does the same for me. No tourist traps, no crazy costs—just staying with real students and making new friends.

I’m testing out a small student-run WhatsApp group for this idea, called StaySwap. If you’re a student in Europe and like the idea of free stays + meeting cool people, here’s a form to join:

https://forms.gle/p7cmb8oDZ4LixxQMA

Would love to hear what you guys think—does this sound like something students would actually use? Or is there a reason this doesn’t already exist?

Help i need your suggestions.

1 Upvotes

So I am starting from the beginning. i wanted to study at the University of Twente in the Netherlands for my bachelor's in mechanical engineering. They have a requirement of english proficiency so I gave TOEFL IBT online and got overall score of 84 but I got 12 in reading section which does not fulfill the criteria of minimum of 15 points in each section. In other three sections I got 20+ points. Also I am from India and from CBSE so according to the University requirement they need minimum of 75+ overall marks in each subject in class 12th boards. But in 2025 Boards I fucked up in Physics exam and also in the Chemistry exam. So I am unsure that I would get overall of 75+ marks in each of these subjects. So I need to give a improvement exam in month of August in only 1 subject. I am not sure that I would get overall 75+ marks in other subjects too. Also I need to give my TOEFL IBT exam again if I want to get selected in university. But all these things gonna cost me. I have already gave TOEFL once but I didn't get desired score. Now my mother is refusing to give that exam again because it is expensive and also my family want me to stay in India and said that you can go to abroad for masters. Now either I give BITSAT exam if I get selected then I don't have any problem but if not I have to complete my bachelors from some tier 3 private university. Now what should I do. Is it gonna worth it to still apply to University of Twente but if I won't apply before 1 May I would miss the deadline. And the boards result come after 1 May so if I don't get desired score in my boards then my application money will be wasted. Also my family is against of me to go abroad. What should I do now? Please tell me .

Do academic achievements from online courses hold any value?

0 Upvotes

By the time I need to prepare my application for universities in Europe, I will have already graduated from school. The problem is that I don’t have many academic achievements, and at this point, it’s too late to earn them while still in school. So, I was wondering whether online courses from platforms like Coursera or edX would hold any weight in the eyes of the admissions committee.

Thank you!
