<p>I’m from the “Better Safe Than Sorry” group. If it says recommended, be safe and honor the recommendation. An SAT II should not decide admission, but these days, with schools so competitive, it could.</p>
<p>My son has taken four SAT II – math 2, chem, biology and U.S. History. He also wants to take Spanish in the fall. He figures they can be used for placement in college courses.</p>
