<p>I have taken the USH and BIO-E SATII test and I might take one more.</p>
<p>According to stats, Math II is taken the most followed by USH.
I know that many ppl do take the math II, but I am pretty pathetic in math so i didnt take it.
Now, do some SATII tests count more than others when applying to colleges. I know languages really don't count if the student is fluent in it, and that for applying to schools of engineering that math ii is required but for many competitive schools, would they favor one test over the other? I would find this unfair because we all have talents in different fields and I think SATII is perfect because there is a variety of tests to take in which a student can show the school that they are strong in certain areas.</p>
<p>it depends on the schools. Some schools require the SAT II’s for students who did not take the ACT. Others require one from different areas so that they can see if the student is well rounded or not. You are correct in that the Foreign language tests aren’t valued as highly for those who speak the language. The best bet is to take at least one from the humanities, one from the sciences, and one of the math’s. If you had done physics or bio, i would have said you might have gotten away since those include math, but biology has less math than the other two sciences.</p>
<p>True, however, I am better at English. I have spent majority of my scholarly years in the states, and if colleges can see that I am adept in english, they would be somewhat impressed or at least know that my korean is still fresh and that I remember it. haha idk. </p>
<p>Im just worried cause so many kids take the MATH II like its a requirement for colleges. </p>
<p>How about I just send what i have with my ACT so no SATII is actually required but sent as a supplement?</p>
<p>I see… then the Korean test would indeed show an effort and mastery. It seems like you are probably not planning to major in math. How about science? That would be a good reason to take the Math II, otherwise, take what you like.</p>
<p>Frankly I don’t understand the native speaker argument. If one is a native speaker, then good; they should be rewarded for their efforts in learning another language. I don’t see why this should be looked down upon in any way.</p>
<p>It would be like an American taking the ESL (or equivalent) and getting credit like a subject test for it. The assumption is that you should have a mastery of your native tongue.</p>
<p>not going to lie, I am a Spanish native speaker and I got a 700 on the SAT (while I have 800’s in all the other SAT 2’s I have taken). The SAT II for language is meant to “trip up” native speakers, posing many questions in which both the slang and grammatically sound answers are choices. If you are unsure of getting a high grade, I wouldn’t take the SAT in Korean.</p>
<p>Hmm I see. I agree with monstr. I mean for non-native english speakers, we are applying to an english-using school so we are capable of speaking english, that should be taken into account when we take our language tests and do well. Colleges should be impressed somewhat by the fact that the student is bilingual.</p>
