Should I take SAT I or II in January?

<p>SAT:
1410
V:720
M:690</p>

<p>SAT II:
Bio M:700
Math IC:710
Writing: 690</p>

<p>I think I can potentially score in the 1450-1500 range on the SAT, and if I take SAT IIs, I think I would take (and score in the indicated range):</p>

<p>US History: 750+
Math IIC: 720+
Writing: 700+</p>

<p>Since this is basicially my last chance to take standardized tests, which improvement would be more beneficial?</p>

<p>As of right now, I am leaning towards SAT II, because I can study for it during Christmas break (I know you can study for the SAT I, but for me, its a matter of hit or miss, depending on how I feel, if I am tired, hungry, etc; on practice tests I scored between 1300 and 1590). Both improvements would help my AI the same (at SAT I =1450), but since the SAT IIs for me are more stable, perhaps it would be better to take them. Anyways, I am interested in hearing the thoughts of others.</p>

<p>Want my advice? Take the Subject tests.</p>

<p>I believe that your SAT score now is enough, and I wouldn't even bother redoing it. But for the SAT II, it give a better "overall" impression, and thus your chances increases.</p>

<p>That's how I view it anyway, and Good Luck!</p>

<p>ok</p>

<p>thanks alot!</p>

<p>subject tests...if u can boost them up to where u say u can...then ull make a good impression than with ur actual sat2's and a 1450 (if u manage 2 get it)</p>

<p>yeah, I am facing the same dillemia. I have a 1320 SAT score and a 720Writing, a 610MathIC score and a really bad US history score. I can't decide whether or not to take the SATI or SATIIs considering that only one of my schools requires subject tests.</p>

<p>considering that only one of your school requires the sat 2's...im assuming they are not ivies so a 1320 is a decent score...i would meditate how important that one school is for you and if it is high in your list, i would go for the sat 2's, but if its not, then i would not bother and i would study during the break to raise that sat I score</p>

<p>Do most schools accept january test scores for regular admission or is it too late for some?</p>

<p>Too late for some.. but again some schools might consider it.</p>

<p>Do you think that if i do significantly better in january and i call the schools that only accept december scores and tell them, they'll consider the jan. scores?</p>

<p>i have similar dilema. please help me out too!!</p>

leave any kind of advises for me. thanks</p>

<p>some schools accept january scores. Harvard does. But I would rush those january scores just to be on the safe side.</p>
