<p>So, I forgot to register on time to retake the SAT IIs in January and now I have to pay the late fee.</p>
<p>I need 3 scores for Princeton.</p>
<p>I have </p>
<p>770 US Hist
760 Lit
660 Fr w/ Listening... but straight A's (like, 98%s) in French throughout high school...?!?! I am actually good at French and am in AP/French 5. I am not quite sure what happened here.</p>
<p>Is it worth it or not? I really don't want to.</p>
<p>Actually, you really ought to have a math or science in that line up. Even if you don't retake French, I'd take one of those if I were you.</p>
<p>The whole "well-roundedness" thing and whatnot.</p>
<p>Maybe sign up for French again, Math I or II, and perhaps a science or another language that would allow you to score high.
Remember you can always change your mind the day of the test anyway.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks sooo much. :)</p>
<p>I'll do Math II and I'll try French again (it's the only foreign language I know). I don't feel my background in physics (my most recent science) was good enough (bad teacher) and chem and bio were too long ago. </p>
<p>If I do badly in French again, will it look like my school inflates grades or something? There actually aren't a lot of people who get A's in French in my school so I'm afraid if I get a low score (even if they don't end up looking at it), they'll get the wrong idea.</p>
<p>Don't take it so hard if your scores are low on the language tests. You'd have a high percentile if it weren't for the fact you're competing with native speakers.</p>
<p>related question:</p>
<p>I'll have taken like six SAT IIs... do you think they (princeton, etc.) will consider the other three scores?</p>
<p>theprez, just try to get your french SAT II above 700. One or two less bubble errors would do.</p>
<p>I wouldn't even retake it. In Michele Hernandez's "Acing the College Application," she said Admissions committees wouldn't underlook a 650 on SATII Literature if they saw that the same student achieved a 5 on the AP Language & Composition exam. That was her exact example. So don't sweat it.</p>
<p>Language and Composition are practically just grammar. Literature is more like AP Lit. Did she mean AP Lit? I don't see why they would discount a 650 SAT Lit if there's a 5 on AP Lang</p>
<p>Oh sorry yeah I meant "underlook" not overlook. (i edited the post) The college still accepted the student even though he had the 650. He demonstrated mastery of the subject with the 5 on the AP exam.</p>
<p>And btw, Lang & Comp isn't just grammar...it's interpreting tough passages and then writing coherent essays.</p>
<p>Really? I took the test last year on a whim, and it didn't seem like that to me. My memory is probably failing me.</p>
