英文可以用TOEFL，再加上請你的college consulting teacher (in-school 果個) 寫封好的推薦信。我當時就係咁入咗間全美top 50讀建築系, 仲有人比獎學金我。利申： 本人並非美國公民。
有咩PM 我，隨便問，希望以我的經歷幫到大家。

Phy chem bio 的滿分是否800呢？但英文想取滿分應該比較難 ...

The full mark is 800 for subject test (till last year, should still be the same).

For tier 1 universities (MIT, Princeton, Harvard etc), I think 2200 or above for SAT reasoning is required. But SAT and subject tests alone are not enough to get into tier 1 universities. ECAs,  sports are also important factors.

Writing applications / Essays  is a very time consuming process, especially during the final year. So choose the university carefully.

It is better to take SAT and Toefl before the start of F6. Some take the SAT reasoning twice. However, some universities allow you to use superscore (choose best score for each section from diff. tests) but others only accept score from one sitting.

考大學係考 SAT，可以考無限次。subject test （phy，chem，bio）並唔係必須，睇個別大學要求。

我聽返來 ...

Subject test requirement is dependent on which course (faculty) you child wants to take. It is relatively easy for HK students as many of them can get full marks. Go through the requirement of the targeted Unis first.

請問SSAT最多可以考幾多次？系唔系一定要考埋phy, chem , bio 呢？一般大學收生 ...

考大學係考 SAT，可以考無限次。subject test （phy，chem，bio）並唔係必須，睇個別大學要求。

我聽返來嘅意見，比較好嘅大學（並非 ivy league），如果學生係 IB diploma 畢業嘅，大學會覺得已經相當 vigorous，有 40 分以上嘅，SAT 成績稍遜（講緊 2000 分左右）也可以，subject test 可考可不考；如果 SAT 不足 2000 分，IB 恐怕要有 43，44 分才可；有 d 大學 “strongly recommend” 學生呈上 SAT subject test 嘅分數，咁即係要考了，除非其他方面嘅分數好高

總結，好睇你想報邊間大學，如果心目中已經有心儀嘅對象，上該校嘅網頁睇下，佢地會列明入學要求，好多時會透露埋以往收生嘅 SAT 成績，自己心中有個數，早少少做準備，成功機會大好多

想問去美國讀物理治療師難嗎？ 幾時去最好呢？ 每年幾＄？ ...

你可去usnews個website搵到答案。2017年開始，physical therapists require a doctorate degree to apply for state licenses and professional membership.  

It is very competitive to get into healthcare school.  You need an almost GPA 4.0 in the major to get into doctorate degree program.  English has to be native, with exceptional interpersonal and  communication  skills.

選好地點，然後研究當地的學校，外國學生應該只能選私校，shortlist 幾間心儀嘅學校，上佢地網頁睇下要申請有乜要求，如果有公開試要考（例如 SSAT），就要計劃好時間報考，然後開始聯絡而家就讀嘅學校，請佢地準備成績表同推薦信，總之照單執藥，通常你預入學前一年半左右開始行動
