Just how harsh is the curve for the language SAT IIs?

[Insomnium]

<p>More specifically, the Spanish, Korean, and Japanese tests.</p>

<p>I'm interested in taking at least one of them (probably one of the last two, since I'll probably take AP Spanish next year), but I hear that the curve is really harsh because of the native speakers that take it.</p>

<p>Should I even bother? I think I'll get an all right score, and I'm going to go into overdrive studying it, but I'm not perfect so I can't say that I won't get a few wrong.</p>

<p>Also, if I do end up taking it, what kind of score would colleges like to see considering that I'm an oreo (mixed kid lol) competing with a bunch of native speakers?</p>

Colleges don’t actually like when native speakers take the tests. they think it’s pointless, and it is. So don’t worry! Do your best</p>
