<p>I'm an American, but my heritage is Chinese. My parents speak Chinese at home, but I usually reply in English. Currently, I can speak fluently, but my chinese vocabulary is below average. I can't read or write Chinese because I dropped out of chinese school when I was little and haven't tried to pick up the language.</p>
<p>Now, I'm going to be a sophomore next year and I've become interested in learning the language again (reading and writing) so I can use it later in life. I want to be able to take the SAT II (hopefully get an 800), so I have a few questions. Hopefully those who have taken the test or those who are familiar with it can help me. I know there is probably a good number of Chinese people here.</p>
<p>Is it possible for a Chinese speaker, who already knows how to listen and speak fluently, to learn the vocabulary and writing on the SAT II Chinese in a little less than 2 years?</p>
<p>How in depth does the SAT II Chinese go? I mean, I can speak Chinese so it won't be too hard to achieve a 750+ score if I work hard right?</p>
<p>you will need to do reading on the test. they are available in simplified, traditional and hanyupinyin. there is one more form that i don't remember. speaking is not tested. and listening won't seem like much of a problem for you. but pick up a practice test and try out the questions to see if you feel comfortable with them.</p>
<p>i think if u can speak fluently, ur pretty fine. theres 4 form, the simplified, traditional, hanyupinyin, and the taiwanese symbol form (actually not too sure wat they are called). So basically, if you can speak it fluently, u will probbaly be fine with the hanyupinyin. I gues just practice anyhow wen u hav the chance to in this two years. Definitely pick up a sample test or sth.</p>
<p>I'd make sure I was very confident about the Chinese SAT II before taking it, because it has the worst curve of all SAT IIs, so anything but 800 is... less than good.</p>
