<p>Just a question...do you guys think there's ANY correlation between IB HL/SL subjects and SAT II scores?</p>
<p>nop they are SO different....IB ones are way harder</p>
<p>But what if someone were to get Chem SL/HL 7 and have a SAT II chem score of 650/710? Or English A1 HL 7 and yet bomb on SAT II Lit? </p>
<p>Well, I suppose it also takes in factor of WHEN in the middle of the IB curriculum you take the SAT II and the time pressure. Seriously...how can lit be a multiple choice exam?</p>
<p>yeh i know...its so stupid..it's so subjective and in IB, I think they will accept many of the multiple choices if you write it in the unseen commentary...</p>
<p>Reactionary: Sorry, I didn't see your post until now, but japstudent12's reply is correct.</p>
<p>Yeah, I looked it up. You can do an A1 language as a Group 2 subject it seems. Interesting :)</p>
<p>I KNOW sat's r so annoying to ib ppl! thr is no correlation what so ever b/w our ib exams and sat's- NONE, specially in english. but i think if u do say... bio hl u can manage a pretty good score on the sat 2 because it has the same type of questions (making infrences based on the fake experiments, processes etc..)</p>
<p>Yep. Last year we had a few people taking English A1 and Romanian A1. And others taking English A1 and German A1 or Dutch A1. Bilingual diploma...or with an A1 and A2 language...</p>
<p>They should make a diploma or special acknowledgement for those who take TWO sciences!! <em>peeved</em></p>
<p>Yeah...bio is easy. But Chem is a little hard. :S Or maybe I'm biased cause I sucked at the SAT II of it. :p</p>
<p>what about those that take 2 languages and 2 sciences then ?</p>
<p>chem IS hard. but 7 in IB chem is definetly impressive, enough to tell the adcom that you are good at chem lol. I suggest one of the reason SATII score (in chem) and IB score a different is that IB is more comcept based than the SAT where it tests actual memorizing (or familiarity) of certain elements and polyatomic ions, also IB has more written questions which tests your application of knowledge where SAT tests how well you can recall them by MC questions .</p>
<p>Yeah...those who take two A languages and two sciences should also get something special... Reason why I think the IB recognizes those with two A languages as "BILINGUAL" is because it's the INTERNATIONAL Baccalaureate and of course the world is globalizing and being multi-lingual or multi-cultural enough to read literary works is all "WOW!!!" </p>
<p>(I'm grumpy.)</p>
<p>Yeah....the IB Chem test was really hard (it was my two friends who got 7's not me:p. I sank at it.) Even it's Paper 1 was of a way different and higher caliber than the SAT II test. Curse you, CollegeBoard!</p>
<p>er.. DUH of course IB chem is way harder than SAT chem, it's an exam after a 2 year long course if you are talking about HL exam then thats almost AP exam material (plus a huge section on organic) whereas SAT chem is <em>supposedly</em> for people with 1 year of chem</p>
<p>I wonder if a lot of people take the Sciences Anticipated... All those labs and syllabus and options done in one year? Is that possible? (God, I love organic chem)</p>
<p>But then how does CB.com decide WHAT to put on any SATII test? It's just..<em>waving arms</em> Mostly it's taken by seniors in their fall, so that's junior year + 2 months more...and yet how broad can they choose what topics goes in each SAT II test?</p>
<p>Am I even coherent? (Sorry it's 3:08 am here)</p>
