<p>I'm not sure if taking it will help.</p>
<p>1) are you a native Mandarin speaker? If yes, then it’s meaningless. If not, it could be a great boost if you score well.</p>
<p>(e.g. the avg score of the Korean SAT Subj test is about 780 since it’s mostly taken by Koreans who falsely think this is an accomplishment versus being a naked grab at a high but worthless score)</p>
<p>2) does the college require any SAT Subj tests? If no, then it’s likely meaningless</p>
<p>It’s not worthless, T26E4. It demonstrates language mastery for a student who is bi-lingual and may not have taken the ‘recommended’ number of years of a foreign language in school. Also, a number of schools require either a 5 on the AP exam or a 650 (or more) on the SATII in a language to skip language distribution requirements.</p>
