How important are the SAT IIs?

<p>Okay so I have a very strong GPA and class rank (4.472 and 4/388 weighted, 4.00 and 1/388 unweighted) and a 36 ACT superscored ACT (35 with no superscore). I also have a very hard workload for my senior year (5 APs).
My ECs are solid, FIRST Robotics and Ecology Club, along with volunteer service through NHS and church, and miscellaneous awards like honor roll, AP Scholar, National Merit Commended, etc.
But... I think I made a mistake with which SAT II I signed up for. I'm taking the chemistry test because I'm in AP chemistry currently, but I haven't taken chemistry since sophomore year and while I was skimming through my Barron's book I came to the realization that I'm going to completely bomb that SAT.
I'm just wondering if maybe my other academic stats could possibly outweigh my probable pitiful score on the SAT IIs?

<p>What other SAT IIs have you taken? What was your score on that? Will you be taking the Math SAT II at the same time as your Chem? Just review and do your best :slight_smile: You can also actually take any test you want once you show up at the testing center.</p>

<p>You can take any SAT II in place of chemistry without notifying CB. Just show up and take a different subject test than what you had registered for. Obviously, you’ll want to take the subject test for which you’re strongest in.</p>

<p>Just take the Math II instead of chemistry. I BELIEVE you can (don’t trust me on this, though).</p>

<p>^ You need once science and one math SAT II for MIT.</p>

<p>I would try to get between a 740 and an 800 on your science subject test. Don’t be afraid to switch subject tests. It does not matter which one you take, as long as it is in a science subject.</p>
