a final bout with the SAT

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>okay, i'm a high school senior, applied to Georgetown, Vassar, Swarthmore and George Washington, plus a few local schools (i'm from texas.)</p>

<p>i think i should take the sat one more time. (january 22 testing date; colleges will take scores up to january, right?)</p>

<p>problem-which one should i take? </p>

<p>i didn't do as well on the SAT I as i should have (800V, 680M, 690W) is a 2170, but because i got a perfect score on writing on the psat, and i'm good at grammar, i'm tempted to say i should be getting at least a 750 in writing. and surely a 2230 (assuming the 750W) looks much better than a 2170? </p>

<p>so do i take that one, OR the sat ii's? my big question: how much are sub-par sat ii's going to hurt me? i got a 750 english lit, which is okay, i suppose. but then i got a 690 US history (but a 4 on the AP exam) and an (eeek) 660 on the French reading.</p>

<p>so i guess my question is, is it more important to score around or a little better than 60 points higher on the sat I exam, or that i do better on my sat ii's (i'll probably take the exact same three tests again)? are my sat ii's so bad that they're hurting me more than anything else?</p>

<p>thanks in advance for any and all help.</p>

<p>pwease help? i don't know exactly how much emphasis colleges place on sat subject tests. does anyone know and can help me?</p>

3

<p>ur fine with ur subject tests, none of them are bad, despite the fact that they seem unsatisfactory here on cc.</p>

4

<p>so i'm correct in thinking that my sat ii scores, while certainly nothing to be proud of, themselves aren't going to hold me back from the colleges i want to attend?</p>

<p>if ur going to be paranoid about it, i would advise you to take it.</p>
