Big Help!! I want to take the SAT again but I have to take the SAT II.

Applying to College

<p>Help me guys! </p>

<p>I will be a senior when this school year starts. And I just took a SAT reasoning test on last January.
And the score wasn't that high :( :(</p>

<p>I got
Critical Reading 430<br>
Math 620<br>
Writing 490
and essay 8</p>

<p>So, I want to take the SAT1 again on October and November-but I have to take the SAT 2. Because I want to apply for several UCs as well.</p>

<p>Since I haven't take any SAT subject test, I'll be disquallify even if I don't take those on October and November--- but I HAVE TO TAKE SAT1 TEST AGAIN!! I don't think UCLA or UCI will let me in for the score of 1550.</p>

<p>So I searched online for a few situation like mine, and I found out UC schools actually take SAT 1 score from December.</p>

<p>So should I just take 2 SAT subject tests on october and november, and just take ACT during those time and take SAT1 test on december, and send that december score to UCs for updates?</p>

<p>Or should I just take SAT reasoning test on october and november (or just either one) and don't take SAT 2 for the other college?</p>

<p>(btw, I'm planning to apply for the art colleges like Cal arts, SVA, Pasadena art center college of design, Ringling too.. I think I have a solid portfolio, but not a good SAT score.. but they don't really care about SAT 2 scores... do they?)</p>

<p>I have about 3.6 GPA, and taken only one AP Calc and two honors, and will be taking Art AP next year. I also got 87 for the Toefl (since I've been in states for 3yrs) and 4 for the AP Calc exam.</p>

<p>I currently have a visa of F-2, and I think I wil change that into a student visa, so I will be an international student if I go to those colleges.</p>

<p>Yes, I know this is really long and I screwed things up, but Please help me!!</p>

<p>P.S And If I have to take SAT2, Should I take Math 2-since I have taken AP calc- and my native language-but I don't have any other choice- Korean? </p>

<p>Thank you!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Why do you have to take the SAT I in both October AND November?</p>

3

<p>Take the SAT November and the SATII October. Or vice-versa. And you may be able to test in December, depending on the colleges you apply to.</p>

4

<p>There's an ACT test in September you might consider taking. It substitutes for your SAT in most colleges and you might even do better.</p>

<p>With all due respect, you should take some SERIOUS time improving your language and communication skills before worrying about whether to take a subject test. Your writing and CR scores suggest that you would have grave difficulty with college coursework in the U.S. Your posting is almost incomprehensible. Find a good tutor and report back to us in a year.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>post #4 is good except I would take an ACT practice test first AND talk to your school guidance counselor.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, the ACT won't help for UC admissions. If you really, really want to go to a UC, take the Subject Tests ASAP.</p>

<p>Fortunately, art schools generally don't care about your scores, and if they do it's usually because they're a school within a university. For schools like the ones you mentioned, your portfolio will be far more important.</p>
