[last chance in december] sat ii vs. Sat i? [appyling to johns hopkins and duke]

Test Preparation
1

<p>December will be my last shot at the SAT's; however, I'm on the fence on which one I should take. I'm applying to Johns Hopkins and Duke among other elite schools. </p>

<p>SAT I: 2040
Reading: 580
Math: 730
Writing: 730
Essay: 12/12 </p>

<p>SAT II
MATH II: 710
US HISTORY: 620
BIOLOGY: 520</p>

<p>I want to do whichever puts me into the best position to get accepted.</p>

<p>Should I increase my SAT I or my SAT II score?</p>

2

<p>SAT I, no question about it. You need to boost that reading score.</p>

3

<p>what’s your major?
if it’s bio/history take the sat II
if it’s english/language take the satI</p>

4

<p>I’m headed towards a pre-med major. If this helps, I have taken a total of 13 of Math and Science classes, including AP Statistics, AP Biology, AP Physics, AP Chemistry, and AP Calculus.</p>

5

<p>I’d retake SATI if you’ve only taken it once before, but if you’ve already taken it a few times then I would stop trying because your score probably won’t increase much more.</p>

6

<p>I’m pretty sure I can get my Reading to about 600-620. And about my low Biology score, my academic record and my classes taken are second to none (Five AP Math/Science Classes). </p>

<p>^Bump</p>

7

<p>Isn’t the deadline passed already? Can you change to subject test if you registered
SAT I?</p>

8

<p>I say take SAT 1, you can use it for all colleges rather than sat 2’s, and if you got a 4 or 5 on the AP Bio test that shows that you know the subject well</p>

9

<p>ok sounds good.</p>
