Following Lifestyle-note dates back to 2015-16. But the core ideas remain the same as ever. Read voraciously - Write reports - Build stamina - Watch classic films.

University Application and SAT constitute a Lifestyle – adapt quickly to this lifestyle. Follow a simple, responsible, creative, and physically healthy life. Remember that you have to prove that you are one of the most potential students in your generation. Become a READER. Read everything.

§  Watch CLASSIC movies [Once in a week]. Listen to classic western music and try to nurture a culturally rich, inner, personal WORLD. Visit theatre halls for LIVE theatre. Visit the Art Galleries and musical evenings. Take someone from your family – Ma/Baba/Siblings. Speak in standard, sophisticated Bengali or English. Do NOT mix the two languages.

§  A good SAT score buys Financial Aid and Scholarship.

§  Your first challenge will be to prevail over the waning stamina. You are strongly advised to drink Milk twice daily. You are also advised to follow a healthy and fresh diet throughout the entire SAT-I and SAT-II course. Get yourself some moderate amount of exercise every day. Add a little yoga to spice up your spirit. (More so during Covid.)  Quit smoking, junk food!!! Remember – Computer Game Addiction is treated as Drug Addiction.
