<p>SAT IIs, like AP tests, give colleges an idea of how rigorous your courses were. If there’s a discrepancy between grades and test scores, it may indicate that the subject content was not taught or that grading was easy. I’m not sure what level you reached in Spanish, but some of the SAT II languages are notoriously tough because native speakers make it a tough curve.</p>
