<p>Hello! I'm having a hard time deciding whether I should report my SAT 2 score for Chinese. I got a 770. I graduated top of class at my Chinese school and I am an editor for my Chinese school newspaper as well as a teaching assistant there. I am Chinese although it is not my first language. I am worried because a 770 is only the 28th percentile because a lot people from China take this test, so the curve is really bad. For most colleges I am applying to I need 2 subject tests. I took Math 2 and got 800, but I don't know what other test to send. I got 770 on Chinese but 740 on USH. Please help! Thank you so much for your help! :)</p>
<p>I’d send it in if I were you! 770 is a good score for pretty much all colleges. I don’t know if they look much at the percentiles and stuff but I think sending in your 800 and 770 would be better than sending in the 740 and 800.</p>
<p>The fact that it’s 28th percentile isn’t that important. Even if you got an 800, it would only be 57th percentile. What matters is whether you are a native speaker. Colleges will look at a non-native speaker who got a high score (and 770 is a high score by any standard) in a better light than a native speaker who took his own SAT language test and got a high score.</p>
<p>Thank you for your help! I forgot to mention that although Chinese isn’t my first language, I do speak it at home and I am fluent (speaking and listening, but not reading and writing). Should I still send in the 770? Thank you very much!</p>
<p>Send them all in. You rock! Best of luck.</p>
<p>Send everything. A 740 is nothing to be embarrassed about, and there are schools that aren’t interested at all in an SAT II in a language in which you are fluent, like Harvard. I’m having the same problem with French.
So send all 3 scores, and let colleges choose whay interest them the most.</p>
