<p>Well I just signed him up for the Math2 and Spanish subject tests on October 11. On the positive side, he is very strong in both areas, and he is going to study before the tests, so it should be ok. Fingers crossed!</p>
<p>Good luck! With those SAT scores, he really should be fine. </p>
<p>Thanks! :)</p>
<p>I am a little out of the loop, but unless the reporting patterns have changed since last year, the Oct scores will not be reported until the morning of the 30th, leaving only nine days to ramp up to take Nov 8th exam. As commented above, I believe Stanford requires the reporting of all scores, so if student performs poorly on one test, he will not be able to suppress the lower score. For schools that do not require submission of all testing, student can suppress one subject test score and report another from same testing date.</p>
<p>If the tests are not needed for ASU and Miami, would it make sense to postpone to November so that he can prepare properly? Oct 28th is late registration date for Nov exam, so he would not have his Oct scores prior to registration cut-off. May want to ‘waste’ the money and register for November.</p>
<p>His test scores seem more than fine. I would work on the three college applications instead and get those out early so he can enjoy the remainder of his senior year. ;)</p>
<p>Ok thanks everyone. He decided to take the Math2 and Spanish subject tests, and he is pretty confident about both. :)</p>
<p>Just to add a different viewpoint, I think many kids do not study for the SAT2 tests, aside from perhaps doing the tests in that college board book of released SAT2 tests. But I think many kids take them at the end of the relevant class when they have been studying for an AP test or final exam anyhow. My daughter took 3 SAT2 tests. She spent perhaps 10 or 12 hours preparing for the Math2, mostly because it was ancient history for her. That was also at my insistence since it was her very first college board test and I didn’t want her to have a bad experience. For the other two subjects, I think she did the one practice test in the book, and then just walked in and took the test. But she took them at the completion of relevant AP classes. I’m pretty sure that her friends studied little or not at all for these tests.</p>
<p>Just to follow up on this thread, he got an 800 on Math2 and a 700 on Spanish. I wish the Spanish score was a little higher, but I’m not too worried about it. I’m hoping the schools will consider those scores good enough! The Math2 score is obviously pretty good!
