How much do SATIIs matter?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Are they gonna make a huge difference in my application? I don't have time to study and I'm taking them in a little over a week... can I wing it</p>

2

<p>I hope you're kidding...</p>

<p>They're worth a lot unless the college that you're applying to doesn't put much emphasis on them...</p>

3

<p>yes, they do matter, especially if you're planning on applying to more competitive schools. I would try to do as well on them as possible.</p>

4

<p>a lot of schools dont require it
i'd say theyre espicially important for HYP,etc</p>

5

<p>Unless you're applying to an Ivy, I don't think they count much unless you're on the bubble. My son is applying to 5 selective schools, and only one even "suggests" taking the SAT II. He's taking them this weekend and has not studied at all. It's making me nervous. Luckily his SAT 1 was pretty good. We're not sending any scores anywhere until we see how he does, in the big picture $9.50 to send a test score is not much money.</p>

6

<p>they're supposed to count even MORE than your SAT I.</p>

7

<p>^ totally wrong</p>

8

<p>^ totally wrong</p>

<p>No, thinkpink, the SAT I is more important.</p>

<p>An admissions rep from Georgetown came to my school today, and I specifically asked whether the SAT I and SAT IIs were weighted equally, and she said the SAT I is more important.</p>

<p>I don't think any school would say that SAT IIs are more important.</p>

10

<p>lol think pink is angry because he did ***** on the sat</p>

11

<p>Certain schools (UCs, for example) consider them to be on-par with the SAT..and actually, before the New SAT, the UCs multiplied the SAT II scores by two when calculating a student's overall test score, thus making them more important...so th1nk p1nk is correct in certain circumstances</p>

12

<p>Is there a certain website I can go to to chekc and see which schools require SAT II's instead of checking EVERY SINGLE school's webiste???</p>

13

<p>well the collegeboard matchmaker has an option that says</p>

<p>Do you want to find only those colleges that require or recommend Subject Test scores for placement?</p>

<p>don't really know what that means ("recommend?")</p>
