Any correlation between SAT I and Subject Tests?

<p>I'm just wondering because my scores vary a lot. If everyone posts their scores, maybe it will be more clear.</p>

<p>I personally feel like subject tests are much easier to score 800s on, but many people disagree with me.</p>

<p>SAT I - 1700</p>

<p>SAT Subj. Test - 2260 (3 scores combined)</p>

<p>If you only have 2 scores, average them and multiply by 3. If you have a 1 score, just multiply by 3.</p>

<p>some subjects tests are easier if you know the subject. Some have very good curves (physics - 15 questions?)</p>

<p>SAT I-2210 (retaking in October)
Subject test: 790 Math 2 and 730 Biology (I felt like I did really bad on both)–> combined score:2280 </p>

<p>I do agree with you that the subject tests are easier to score higher on, especially if you take the math 2 test because of the lenient curve. However, I feel like colleges care more about the SAT reasoning test because many say that the subject tests are not necessary, and will only help a bit in the application.</p>

<p>First time SAT score: 2080, 2nd time: 2290</p>

<p>SAT subject top 3: if you count only first time: 2330. If you include 1 retake: 2380…</p>

<p>In this case the 2330 is close to my 2290…</p>

<p>However, I will retake my SAT I again to try to get 800 on math. If I do (which may be a long shot), my 2290 will be a 2380, equaling what I earned after retaking one subject test and finding the sum… It’s a correlation only in that people who do well on one test are likely to do well on another. In theory, however, SAT is sometimes viewed as more aptitude (what are you mentally capable of?), while subject is viewed as achievement (How well do you know what you’ve already learned?)… In reality, even the college board doesn’t feign that either of these tests are meant to exactly measure aptitude or achievement anymore, as evidenced by changing the names of the examinations themselves.</p>

<p>Just to not look like an idiot, my ACT is a 33 w/o writing. I took the SAT for NCSSM soph. year with the flu on the last possible date.</p>

<p>Even though they might be measuring 2 different things, someone who does poorly on the SAT is unlikely to do well on subject tests.</p>

<p>This is actually pretty interesting,
I am one of those people who falls for all the tricks. My SAT I math was 700 while my Math II was 800.</p>

<p>Another thing about SAT II is that you’re taking a test for a subject you’re decent in. That’s why it’s noticeably higher.</p>

<p>Reasoning Test: 2380
Subject Test: 2300</p>

<p>Blah. I dislike subject tests a lot. I just can’t seem to make myself study for them haha.</p>

<p>1710 SAT I</p>

<p>2280 on USH and World history</p>

<p>PSAT: 1810</p>

<p>Subject Tests: 2370</p>

<p>Yes, subject tests are easier.</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning Test - 2390
SAT Subject Tests - 2390 (never really understood why people like adding these scores up…)</p>

<p>First match?</p>

<p>SAT I: 2030
SAT II: 2160 (have a 690 and 750)</p>

<p>SAT: 2270 (retaking)
Subject Tests: 2350 (not retaking)
Hoping for 2350+ superscore SAT the next time I take it. :D</p>

<p>SAT I: 2320
SAT II: 2400 (also got a 730, but won’t send unless it’s required)</p>

<p>I’m not sure SAT I has ALL that much to do with SAT II scores, although of course people that are good test takers will likely do well on both. Some SAT I scores probably correlate with SAT II scores (CR with Lit, etc.)</p>

<p>Reasoning: 1540/2260
Subject: 1600/2400</p>

<p>SAT reasoning: 2230
SAT subj. tests: 2250/2400</p>

<p>I feel exactly the opposite:</p>

<p>SAT: 2260
SAT Subject Tests: 760-US History 750-Math I 710-Math II 710-Latin</p>

<p>SAT: 2220
3 SAT II’s (first try): 2070
:-/
Although I did get a 790 Critical Reading AND a 790 Literature, so maybe there’s a correlation there…</p>
