<p>Well..I speak Mandarin and I go take a class every Saturday..but I'm not that fluent.</p>
<p>My friend got a 790 on it and she freaked out...</p>
<p>Do they look down upon a non-perfect score from a native speaker?
o_o</p>
<p>Obviously, it's not really very valuable to take the test in your native language. The idea of the SAT II is to find out what you learned about another language. Taking the test in your native language is usually seen as just filling an admission requirement, though I'm not exactly sure if adcoms take off brownie points for that.</p>
<p>It's 10 points! Dang!</p>
<p>It's not like they can know that you're a native speaker of the language is it?</p>
<p>If they ask, you could always mark non native. :S It's none of their business anyways.</p>
<p>Ofcourse it's their business.</p>
<p>so how would they know if you're tellin the truth or not? if you say ur a nonnative speaker, how will they know that you actually are?</p>

<p>Umm... no, no it's not. </p>
<p>And they won't know that you're telling the truth. And even if you did report that you're a native speaker on the test (if they do that), I doubt that goes to the colleges you apply to. It'd probably be only for statistical purposes.</p>
<p>I'd try not to if possible. Takes away the fun, eh? :)</p>
<p>Yea.. because SATs are just sooo much fun.</p>
