Is it possible to divide up your 6-7 hours of game time into at least 2 days? It's still the same amount of game time, and it'll definitely help you more. Besides, I think it would make your days easier if you could look forward to the 1-2 hr starcraft session after all the work is done.

Edit: Oh, the local university part. In any case, I don't think playing 6-7 hours one day, and one day only is optimal. It's like studying 7 hours one day, and not studying for the rest of the week.

Fuck your parents, do NOT aim for a perfect score on the SAT. Aim for "the best you can do." In the end, there's no difference between a 2400 and a 2370 for colleges. A large percent of students who get 2400 actually drop out of school anyways.

As for practice, just ladder? I would advise playing against your friends if they aren't good enough, and you're genuinely trying to improve. Otherwise, there's always the practice partner thread you could look up?

Perhaps try out some of those build tester custom maps. It optimizes your time much better, as you can continue practicing the same builds over and over.

Btw: APs in South Korea? What, do you go to Seoul Foreign School or something?

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely look at that practice partner thread. And im in America right now, and probably gonna move in like December, so thats why im taking SATs. And Idk if i will go to a US college, or korean one. Anyways, my situations is kinda complicated right now. But yeah, my parents said they'd be satisfied with a 2200 score


omg I'd hate to change this into a SAT thread (blog post), but can you tell me how you're doing in each section, and the essay as well? The only reason I want to help is because once you conquer the SAT, you can move on to SC2.

I get about a 10 or 12 on the essay, about a 600 on math, same for critical reading and a 680 for writing. Yeah, thx for your help, i just want to get to play sc2 too. And Im going to be a junior by the way

Hey thanks everyone that explained the SAT to me and stuff especially Z3kk that wrote an awesome post about the SAT and the American school system. But I was also wondering, are extra curriculars that important? I asked a college admissions office person on yahoo answers, but she said they really weren't and that they have a make it, or not make it thing depending on the gpa and sat score(unless its the guy that sold intel for 750 million dollars). Hearing this, I quit marching band cuz I hated it and was only doing it for extra curriculars. Also, do extra curriculars have to be school related? I don't really like doing stuff for the school but the problem is I can't get a job(it would be illegal don't ask why) and I quit TaeKwonDo because of all the work, but I did get to that red/black belt thing.

But basically, my parents said this will be the hardest time in my life and if i pass it, i will go to a good college and stuff where i will be able to fool around and play lots of sc2 lol. They even said they would buy me like a thousand dollar computer to play on all ultra settings. And most of you are saying this life is screwed up, but this is the asian parents way. In korea, its worse, trust me.

One day a week, you're a lucky one... I haven't been able to legitimately play since like 8th grade.

College Admissions counselors will drive you (and me) absolutely insane. There are simply ridiculous variations in advice given by different counselors, and you can't have a ONE SIZE fits all plan for everyone. Obviously you need to maintain a base (SAT, GPA, etc...), but arguing over taking 4 SAT IIs instead of 3 is pretty absurd (currently happening to me).

But yeah, High School classes/tests are definitely not meant to be the "hardest time of your life" -that's utter bullshit. Getting into a college is definitely a meaningful goal, but just because you got in doesn't mean "Mission Accomplished".

I will say becoming an overachiever is all about the motivation -even if you think something is a superficial or meaningless activity that you're only doing for college, the dedicated, hardworking students will do the said activity anyway. Having a life outside of college-related extracurriculars (such as TeamLiquid) is both a blessing and a curse. Everything else tends to become boring -the things that are important in the eyes of admissions officers.
There are people who get in without doing anything at all, and those who do everything but only get into safety schools. The goal is to be neither -you don't want to be an exception in any case.

It depends greatly on your major, current high school, and prospective university's rigor, how hard college will be compared to your high school.

You can chose to be the proverbial big fish in a small pond, eg: getting accepted to the honors program and asking to transfer to the normal program, or you can be the medium fish in the big pond. I myself would chose the former now, however there are many who argue to be the latter.
