French SAT II

<p>I am applying to Harvard and I heard from a representative that an SAT II subject are mostly looked at for placement. Anything above a 600 will give u credit apparently. I recently took the SAT II subject test for French and was hoping to crack a 700.. I was pretty sure I did, but it turned out that i scored a 670. Should I retake or is a 670 decent enough?</p>

<p>no, cos the french II is very hard, and adcoms kno that... btw... I happen to kno someone who also got a 670 in french and got accepted to harvard... funny coincidence, ^^</p>

<p>hmm, it all depends how you look at it...I took it without studying at all just reviewed my grammar. I ended up with a 750 in french and 800 in spanish. I figured that for tests like these (language exams), your score will depend on how <em>lucky</em> you are that they test the random vocab that you know. The grammar part you just need to know. That's how I reason it. You might want to try again to see if you get lucky, but also keep in mind that your score might go down.</p>

<p>Do you reckon French & Listening is in fact easier than French Reading on its own? Because surely the Reading part will be shorter?</p>

<p>don't do that to yourself unless of course, you're amazing at listening..</p>

<p>how many years of french did you guys take before you took the subject test?</p>
