Math I: 680
Math II/C: 720
Chemistry: 680 --> 730 (waiting on the May/680 rescore, I did not get that score and the June/730 test was actually much much harder than the May test)
Bio: 630 --> 660 (Again did not think the 660 was a hard test, but lets see how the Chem rescore goes before I fight this)

<p>I've heard that some people do poorly because of the different testing formats that the APs and SAT IIs employ. If I do get those scores, then would they overshadow my SAT II scores? </p>
<p>Some people have also said that I should take an SAT II in US History, a language, or literature to show diversity. Should I still do this given that the AP tests already would cover this area pretty well?</p>
<p>If you've taken Physics yet, I thought the SAT II physics wasn't too challenging though I can't compare them to Bio or Chem as I've not taken either. The Physics was big on EM, which isn't that difficult. Math I was actually a pointless SAT II for you to take I think; and I'd also suggest you take US History. I took Math II, US History, and Physics.</p>
<p>As for how much weight is given SATs and APs, I don't really know; I did pretty well on the APs I've taken though, and I also did well on the SAT IIs I took.</p>
<p>My school does not put an emphasis on physics, so I'm taking that at a community college this fall. It does not fit into my senior year schedule. </p>
<p>I realize about Math I. I honestly don't know why I took it. It's the same as SAT Math, and I did fairly well on that. </p>
<p>The thing is, I only want to work on the SAT this summer and take it in October. I don't really want to do anything for SAT IIs anymore. That's why I thought myabe the APs show diversity.</p>
<p>thanks, also, will fours kill you? especially if you got a four in an easier subject such as US history but a five in harder ones such as chemistry?</p>
<p>I e-mailed Dartmouth a while ago, and the admissions director responded that I should report my APs anyway because a 4 or a 5 on an AP test shows mastery of a subject. And, due to Dartmouth's early decision policy on SAT IIs (you can apply for ED even without two SAT IIs), SAT IIs aren't really all that important. So, I suppose it can't hurt to use my APs to cover my decent SAT II scores.</p>
<p>I would take the SAT subject test in history. i found it to be pretty easy, and considering you think you will receive a 5 on the ap exam, you won't find it to be very difficult. even though it is the same subject as your ap exam, your sat II scores aren't as high as you may want them, so this could possibly become one of your highest sat II scores, making you a stronger applicant.
what about a language test? i took spanish and i didn't find it to be very difficult. though unless you are fluent i wouldn't recommend taking it with the listening section.
in addition, a few of the admissions officers i talked to when applying did not think much of ap psychology (one essentially told me they didn't even consider it as an ap class)</p>
<p>and to whoever asked about 4s hurting you, i doubt they would. while a college would rather see a 5, dartmouth gives some credit and placement for scores of 4.</p>
<p>your scores are pretty weak. I think you can pull them up a bit, to low 700's. don't worry about math I, they'll understand. You only need two for dartmouth anyways, everything else is auxiliary,</p>
