<p>i was born in chia, and i came here 4 years ago. i am planing to take Chinese and MathII in this november. </p>
<p>even if i get 800 on Chinese subject test, does it look good? i am kind of worried - -0. should i change Chinese to another subject???</p>
<p>If you lived in China for 10+ years and you manage to score anything but a 800, that would really look bad.</p>
<p>I suggest you take something else.</p>
<p>but what if i get 800?</p>
<p>Take the Chinese subject test. You can take up to 3 in a day - go ahead and take a 3rd if you want to. </p>
<p>But take the Chinese test. It is impressive. Not everyone who can speak Chinese can get an 800 on the test. If you can, great - show them!</p>
<p>but i already lived in china for 10+ years..</p>
<p>If you've lived in China for 10+ years, you would be able to get an 800 pretty easily.
If I were you, I'd take the Chinese SAT as well as take 3 others (or 2 or how many your universities recommend).</p>
<p>Don't bother taking it. If you lived in China for 10+ years, you're assumed to be fluent. The SAT Chinese (probably the equivalent of a 3rd grade achievement test in China) won't prove anything.</p>
<p>800 in Chinese is pretty useless since 800 is only 60 percentile or so. AP Chinese would probably be a lot more impressive.</p>
<p>but honestly,ap chinese is actually really easy,only the listening is a '' little little'' harder.... getting a 5 is as easy as getting an 800 on sat II.</p>
<p>jamesford is probably right...</p>
<p>haha, i can whole-heartedly state that for a native speaker an AP Chinese 5 is prolly easier than an SAT 800. Last year, there was an increase in 5s on the chinese test, from 80% to 85%, and i just took it and even though my chinese isnt that good that test was very very fun.</p>
<p>its not allowed to take the language test in your native language haha</p>
