<p>I teach HS French and Spanish, and my D took both the French SAT II (w/listening) and the AP. I would agree that they are hard. I wish there were a way to single out the native speakers from these tests; I don’t think it’s fair that they skew the curve. D’s scores were lower than her other tests, as someone else, above, also mentioned. If ZS needs a third SAT II, and if he feels confident in the language, then he should take it. Admissions officers are very well aware of the lower scores and the reasons for them. My D also took a placement test when she arrived on campus, because she didn’t feel that her scores were particularly indicative of her skill level. Indeed, she placed higher from the placement test than she did with the scores. Maybe take the tests and see what the result is. He doesn’t have to report the AP, if he doesn’t want to, and even if his SAT II score is lower than he would like, it may not really matter. It also could depend on his tolerance for the tests after having taken so many. He may just not want to do any more. That would probably be fine too. So much to think about, right?! :)</p>
