<p>Hi :)
I have lived away from Japan from when I was in grade 3, and I have lived in Australia, Hong Kong, and I am currently living in Korea.
My first language is Japanese, but I have been to english international schools, so I am fluent in English.
For my 2 subject tests, I am planning to take Math I, (Maybe Math II) and Korean.</p>
<p>So I want to ask people who have taken the Korean Subject test, or known someone who have taken this test, to tell me how it is. I studied Korean for a year, and am planning to study for the SAT Korean if I am 100% sure that I will be taking it. Because I am not an Korean person, IF I get a good score on this, it will be useful... right?</p>
<p>Also, if you have a good practice book to study for the SAT Korean, then I would be so happy to know it ;)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>take Math II instead of Math II. Korean is challenging. Although Japanese and Korean grammar are nearly compatible, you need to walk around the country of your language of interest. (if opportunity allows, that is.) That’s just… how to learn a language.</p>
<p>Even as a Korean American who lived in Korea for 14 years… I tend to miss like 4 questions on P exams… I have stable background, as my parents are Koreans but isolated in my home, I did not have much opportunity to live around the place.</p>
<p>Take Math II instead of Math I.</p>
<p>I know a Korean native who came to America maybe 5 years ago. Perhaps even more than that.</p>
<p>Took it last year and said it was pretty hard. Got between 600-700.</p>
<p>SAT language is for natives really. You have to have a very good grasp of the language.</p>
<p>korean is a joke… i got a 780 on a practice test and was about to shoot myself. if you look at the percentiles a 800 is only like 60 percentile… if you studied you are pretty fluent you should at LEAST get 750+.</p>
<p>take math II. I didn’t know Korean was a subject sat… interesting</p>
<p>Just to back up everyone else -
Math I is pretty basic; Math II is a bit harder, going up to I think pre-calc. However, Math II is apparently way easier to score highly on (better curve); I’ve heard someone can miss 4 and still get 800. Assuming you’re a junior and you’re in advanced math (even if it’s not the highest level for your grade offered), it’s a good idea to take Math II.</p>
<p>For your original question (about taking the Korean Sat II test), I have no idea and can only link back to [url=<a href=“The SAT – SAT Suite | College Board”>The SAT – SAT Suite | College Board]this[/url</a>], which you probably already know about.</p>
<p>Thank you so much to everyone who have replied…!!! Helped me so much. I am a junior, but I don’t have pre-calc in next year’s schedule because it just didn’t work out… I will try to ace math 1 and i’ll see how it goes.</p>
<p>For Korean, the next available test in Seoul is November, and I think I’ll see how I do on that, but I’ve talked with my mum, and we said that I will take SAT bio too 
ahhh memorization… </p>
<p>I never thought about colleges and those things till very recent, so I think I’ve got a lot to do, but I’ll do my best. </p>
<p>I am still waiting for more suggestions and comments, so please comment!</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Don’t take Math I, its utterly useless… its curve is worse than Math II as well.</p>
<p>considering korean and chinese 800s are only around 40 percentile… its really useless as well (I didn’t bother taking sat II chinese even though i’m a chinese native… i went for the sciences sat IIs and got 800s on those)</p>
<p>just go for the sat II sciences… Bio has the hardest curve, Chem has a little trick to it, Physics is probably the easiest. </p>
<p>Honestly, the foreign language SAT IIs aren’t really worth anything unless you can use it to fulfill some foreign language requirement at the university that you’re going to. (which the AP test is the preferred method)</p>
<p>@freezingbeast Not choosing to take Korean is a big disadvantage for Japanese students and vice versa, because the grammar is essentially compatible between the two, although not for Chinese.</p>
