SAT II's HELP!

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>So -</p>

<p>I got an 800 on Math II (June)
I got a 750 on Math I (June)
I got a 680 on Physics (June - re-wrote it last week)
I wrote Literature also last week but it went terrible - so I registered for Literature again in Dec.</p>

<p>I'm applying EDI to Stern. </p>

<p>I plan to send both Math scores, both Physics scores and both Lit scores - though I know that the Lit i wrote last week will definitely score below 600 since I answered less than half the paper.</p>

<p>Would you recommend I cancel the Lit score from last week and just wait for my Dec Lit score to reach them? Or will they still give me the benefit of the doubt knowing that I am re-taking Lit in Dec? </p>

<p>I'm also sending my SAT score so it isn't as if there will be no english-related scores on the table.</p>

<p>shameless bump</p>

<p>If you’re applying EDI I’m pretty sure the admisisons decision will be made before you even take the test. If you did EDII they’d see em though.</p>

<p>Have you taken any other exams - the SAT I or the ACT?</p>

5

<p>I’ve taken the SATI</p>

<p>I think it would be too late for the December score, since decisions go out around mid-December. If you want to send in your SAT II’s for ED, I believe you’ll have to not cancel the Lit one and send it, but if you are not so confident about it, you should consider sending your SAT I’s.</p>

<p>To add on to what Ignite wrote, you MUST send the lit score if you’re not sending your SATI scores because you have to send a humanities exam.</p>

8

<p>There are four different options for sending scores:</p>

<p>Option 1: Send the SAT I.
Option 2: Send one math/sci SAT II, one lit/humanities SAT II (history included), one SAT II of your choice.
Option 3: Send one math/sci AP, one lit/humanities AP (history included), one AP of your choice.
Option 4: Send the ACTs.</p>

<p>Bottom line - you have more options than just SAT I or SAT II!</p>

<p>I live in South Africa, ACT not offered, no AP’s offered, no IB’s offered either. I do the British system of A-levels.</p>

<p>I guess I will send my SATI and all my subject scores - despite the Lit being awful, they will see that I’ve opted to write it again. </p>

<p>Thanks anyway!</p>

<p>They’ll never see that you chose to take it again. They only see scores of tests completed and sent to them. Besides, just because you decide to take it again is meaningless because no one can predict how well you will do. Sorry if I came off being harsh but it’s the truth.</p>

<p>Oh.
Well, I guess it’s not the end of the world.
So I won’t get into my dream school - how many people really do?</p>
