Class of 2016: EA/Regular decision discussion

<p>Subject tests really aren’t a big deal.</p>

<p>which ones are you taking?</p>

<p>I don’t get why Georgetown asks for 3 subject test scores yet doesn’t even care about your AP scores…</p>

<p>I have 4 because I hate myself, but I only sent 3 to Georgetown because one was Spanish with listening so I had to take it in November.</p>

<p>I didn’t send any to Georgetown. I’m doing 3 in December AND the ACT. Kill me now.</p>

<p>I am taking math level 2.</p>

<p>I didn’t have any for EA either. But I took Spanish in November and I’m taking world history in December. I know they ask for 3, but is 2 ok? It’s better than nothing, right? It’s not like all or nothing?</p>

<p>Yes, two is better than nothing. No, it’s not as good as three. The three subject tests are “highly recommended.” If you do very well on two and the SAT/ACT, you’ll probably be all right. But if you happen to be competing with someone who took three and did well on three, that could put you at a disadvantage.</p>

<p>Taking SAT IIs the weekend after APs…great decision. USH and Chem were a breeze.</p>

<p>thefan-- What did you score on your APs and Subject Tests respectively?</p>

<p>I did that sophomore year after AP US, but June, not May. I also took both maths in that sitting, so I had 3 taken care of right off the bat. I swear I’m getting dumber over time, because I got 2 790’s and a 780 and my scores just get worse over time. I got a 5 on the AP.</p>

<p>Djz–What have you taken since then that was worse? (I’m trying to stimulate discussion :))</p>

<p>I went from 2360/2400 on my first 3 sat 2s, then 235/240 psat, then 2250/2400 sat, then 2110/2400 sat but I hadn’t yet recovered from my oral surgery earlier that week, then 730/800 sat 2.</p>

<p>2360?? And you took it again? smh lol And you took 4 SAT2s so anything after the first 3 was icing on the cake.</p>

<p>the 2360= 790 us history, 790 math 2, 780 math 1, not sat 1, i’m not messed up in the head. I took a 4th because the 2 maths seemed redundant and I am not pursuing anything math related. The first 3 were at the end of sophomore year, the last was a few weeks ago, Spanish with listening.</p>

<p>My reading comprehension on these forums would translate to about a 400 on the SAT lol Nice. How did you do on the Spanish? I took it without listening in October.</p>

<ol>
<li>I’m content with it. I’m in AP this year and I like languages and they are more relevant to what I plan on studying. Will definitely send it to Gtown if I get deferred. I think the most impressive for me was math 2 because, while it was only like 86th percentile, I hadn’t even finished trig when I took it.</li>
</ol>

<p>I am taking math 2 this Saturday. Wish me luck. I got 800 in Spanish… I’ve been studying Spanish for over a year and a half every single day. Now on to Arabic for the new year.</p>

<p>good luck! :slight_smile: math 2 isn’t really that hard… you can skip like 5 questions and still get an 800!</p>

<p>790 Spanish w/ listening, SO annoyed lol. Just one question away from the precious 800.</p>
