<p>How much do SAT and SAT II scores count when the adcoms consider my application?
I took four SAT IIs (710 800 800 800) but they show only the first three. Do they know that I got one more 800? Or will this 800 be counted too?
Thanks.</p>
<p>i dont think itll be counted, theyll only consider your highest out of 3 tests</p>
<p>THey count 1 math sat2, 1 English, and just 1 from any other subject. If the 710 is math or English, it counts, unless you have taken more than one math test.</p>
<p>Technically, your SAT IIs weigh more than your SAT I because of the fact that the double your SAT IIs.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<p>Student A:</p>
<p>SAT I: 1250------------> 1250
SAT II Math IC: 700 ---> 1400
SAT II Writing :690 ----> 1380
SAT II Third Subj: 750--> 1500</p>
<p>Now guess what? They add it all up. So your SAT IIs are worth three quarters of your total SAT scores and SAT I is only one quarter.</p>
<p>That's ridiculous. So 1 hour of a crappy Writing test is worth as much as 3 hours of hell?</p>
<p>The UCs concluded that the SAT II scores better predicted college performance than the SAT score. But don't worry, soon (due to the UCs) the crappy writing test will be part of those 3 hours of hell.</p>
<p>Don't forget that the Writing Test is also used as a placement test. If you get a 690 (before doubling) or higher, you are exempt from the Subject A Test. If you get below 690, you must take the Subject A Exam. Your UC will let you know if you have to or not. The Subject A Exams are held sometime in May or June.</p>
<p>And the new SAT I test (with writing) is not 3 hours, but bordering on 4.</p>
