我想申请英国的微生物研究型专业，不知道需要不需要套磁

本人是高二在读生 看伦敦大学国王学院的申请要求可以用SAT的成绩申请 只是我没太弄懂 申请得花是过去读预科还是本科

楼主因为一些原因高考后gap 了一年，高考成绩是2015年的，超重点40+,看到澳洲八大有些可以用高考成绩申请，请问有好心人知道这样的情况能用来申请2017年入学吗？真的很着急QAQ

SAT之于每个高中生，一直以来几乎就是一个噩梦般的存在。但自2016年3月起，这个SAT似乎又要变出一些新花样了。那么，什么是你需要注意的呢？尤其是对于想申UC的学生来说——

1.UC仍然要求有Essay成绩。在新SAT里，Essay不再必考，但UC仍然需要该成绩。新SATEssay考试时长25分钟（对比旧SAT仅25分钟），其考试形式要求学生使用证据来论证或反驳题目中既有的或给出的观点。

2. 新SAT将重回满分1600分。恩，就是那个广（chou）为（ming）人（zhao）知（zhu）的400-1600分数范围。

3. 再见，“SAT词汇”；你好，欢迎来到地球。晦涩的词汇，将不再是新SAT的考试重点。取而代之的是要求学生，能够更多地掌握一些可能会在大学课程中遇到的词汇，如“合成（synthesis）、经验/实证（empirical）”等。

4. 阅读与数学部分的题材将主要来源于大学教学中遇到的实例。其文章、方程等试题的来源将会十分广泛——科学、社会科学、历史等不一而足。

5. 答错再也不罚分了。答对有分加，答错不倒扣分了。小伙伴们，可以放心大胆有理有据地推测（educated guesses）答案了。

Five things you should know about the new SAT

Spending countless hours memorizing obscure vocabulary words is a fate suffered by many high school students preparing for the SAT college-entrance exam. But with the new test coming in spring 2016, this rite of passage may become anachronistic. Last year, the College Board, which administers the SAT, announced significant changes to the exam to better assess students’ readiness for the academic challenges of college. 

This means that if you’re currently a junior in high school, you’ll face an entirely different exam than your senior peers — one that will be more closely tied to the skills that you’ll need in college and your career, according to the College Board.  

But before you start burning your flash cards, here are five things you should know about the new test:

1) UC applicants must still write an essay. Although the essay section will be optional for most test takers, UC will require it for admission. The new essay will be 50 minutes (versus 25 minutes) and will require students to use evidence in order to make an argument about a written passage.

2) A perfect score will be 1600. Scores will return to the well-known 400 to 1600 scale.

3) Goodbye, “SAT words"; hello, real-world language. Obscure vocabulary — popularly known as “SAT words” — will no longer be a focus of the exam. Instead, students will be expected to demonstrate that they understand the kinds of words that they might encounter in college courses (e.g., synthesis, empirical).

4) The verbal and math sections now will be based on material students may encounter in a college classroom. Students will analyze passages and solve equations pulled from a broad range of disciplines, including science, social studies and history.

5) There no longer will be a penalty for incorrect answers. No more worrying about those educated guesses! You will earn points only for questions answered correctly.
