Should I take another Sat2 test?

<p>I'm currently a junior. I'm planning on taking Math2 in may, and SAT1 in June. I have taken SAT2 Chinese (i'm native) and Chem, got 800 on both. My question is, should I go for another test? I currently have AP Bio and Physics B AP, so if I were to take another test, it will probably be one of the two. And also, when should I take them? I could add them on to may, but the thing is, I'm also taking 5 AP tests this year, which are also in may. Plus I need to study for the SAT1, so I don't know if I can allocate the time to study for another SAT2 test in may. I know for UC's only two SATII's are required, but for many Ivies three are required. But since I technically will have 3 by my senior year, is it worth it to take another SAT2? thanks for the help guys.</p>

<p>i would probably take physics if were you because the curve is much nicer. but i guess you just have to decide which one you are better at.</p>

<p>3 is enough...</p>

<p>If you're applying to places that require 3 SAT II's, I would take another one. Since Chinese is your native language, I don't think the schools will count your score in it.</p>

<p>they will count the score..there is no rule against it.</p>

<p>I stand corrected. I simply don't think it shows much that you can do well on a language test that is designed for students learning the language as a second language, if you are a native speaker of the language in question.</p>

7

<p>thats probably true</p>

<p>hmm... Does it help to take more SATII's than required? For example, if a school requires 2 SATII's, do they just consider the 2 top ones, or do they also look at the other ones as well?</p>

9

<p>They consider the top 2 scores.</p>

10

<p>Yeah, they only consider the top 2.</p>

<p>Unless you are using them for placement or something, I see no reason to take another science SAT II on top of your 800 in chemistry, which is very impressive. If you are gonna take another SAT II, I would recommend something else, probably something covered by one of the APs you are taking or by an AP you have taken in the past. A history, a language (in which you are not native), or literature. Something like that.</p>

<p>You are fine with these 3 SAT II's. Totally fine.</p>
