SAT scores and aTOEFL goof-up

Yes I got my SAT scores a month back and sorry for not having posted about them. Anyway 2060 was my SAT score. The individual marks were:

640 Critical Reading

720 Math (one world class goof-up here)

700 Writing (who would have thought)

Anyway let us move on. Naresh Shah ( someone at FIIT-JEE) called me up soon after the results were declared and bitched about having screwed all his chances of making it to MIT and Caltech and I at my end was helplessly listening to his moaning. After a good 1/2 hour when he decided to hang up, I went back to education (a.k.a coding).

I made a goof-up in the toefl registration. By mistake I registered for the Paper Based Test and got to know from Uniti-Foundation that I had to write the internet based test as ETS planned to kick out the PBT the next year. I then registered for the IBT. What a waste of money. Anyway TOEFL promised “not to” refund me completely and told me that if I sent the ticket back to them within the admission deadline I would be eligible for getting back a small percentage of what I paid.

Anyway more on this later.
