<p>I don't think I'll do as well on the SAT I, compared to my high SAT II scores, so should I still take the test even if I apply to coastal schools or is my ACT score enough?</p>
<p>Take it to see how you do. You don’t have to submit it if you do take it.</p>
<p>But my SAT II scores are all >780, and I want colleges to see those</p>
<p>Don’t take it. You have high SAT II scores already. If you don’t do well on the SAT, schools that require SAT II’s in addition to ACT will see your SAT scores. RahoulVA is incorrect in that if you submit your SAT II’s you also have to submit your SAT. Every college takes ACT’s instead of SAT and they’re weighed equally. The only reason I would recommend taking SAT is if you have to for National merit/achievement. If this is the case, take the SAT after you have submitted your apps.</p>
<p>Huh? I meant that if he submits his ACT, then he doesn’t have to submit his SAT I if he does take it.</p>
<p>Why waste the money and time? Submit your SAT IIs and ACT. You are done.</p>
<p>Send your SATII scores now to the colleges you are interested in. Then if you want to, take the SAT. If you score as well as you did on the ACT, then re-submit your scores to the colleges. If you do worse, then the colleges will only have your SATII scores and will never know you took the SAT.</p>
<p>(yes, it will cost more money this way if you do well on the SAT, but you have protected your scores this way).</p>
<p>Rahoul,
if he applies to any schools that require SAT II’s in addition to ACT, then his SAT I will automatically be submitted also. If none of his schools require SAT II’s in addition to ACT then it is correct that he doesn’t have to submit his SAT I.</p>
<p>prefect, not if as Momof2ky says you took the SAT I after you submitted your SAT IIs</p>
<p>He should still take it to see how he does. With enough practice, he could get a great score and he doesn’t know it. He has a lot of potential in my opinion, he could surprise himself.</p>
<p>“Seeing how you do” is, IMO, not sufficient to waste time with “enough practice” and the 4 hour test itself.</p>
<p>Your ACT is fine. You SAT IIs are fine. “Coastal” schools don’t matter; they all take the ACT in lieu of SAT I. You’re done.</p>
<p>J’adoube, yes that’s true. I agree with everyone who has said that there’s no good reason to take the SAT. It would be the same advice to someone who got 2350+ on the SAT. Why take either test when you’ve already scored 99+ percentile?</p>
<p>definitely do not take the SAT I. It would only be a waste of money and time…</p>
<p>sorry OP for hijacking the post, but i just wanted to make sure.</p>
<p>so it is okay to send in your ACT scores and your SAT II scores without your SAT I scores…right? some people have told me taht in order to send the sat ii scores you have to send in the sat one score.</p>
<p>What those people meant is that you can’t choose which scores to send. If you took the SAT I before the SAT II and you then send the scores, they are correct - you cannot send the II without the I. All tests go or none go.</p>
<p>However, there is no requirement that you actually take the SAT I. If you don’t take it, College Board will send only your SAT II - no other score to send.</p>
<p>Only if you took your SAT I after you took the SAT II. Just don’t have the scores for the SAT I sent until you know how you did (read post #7).</p>
<p>Definitely do NOT take the SAT; there’s absolutely no reason or need to do so. Your ACT score rocks.</p>
<p>yea go for that 2400</p>
<p>what’s the point? go do something else worthwile–trust me, it’s high school, there are quite a lot of things to do</p>
