<p>One of my friends told me that I should take around 4 SAT IIs, even though most schools only require 2, so that I can score high on them to impress schools. I always thought that you only take the bare minimum of SAT IIs, provided you score well on both of them. Do colleges care about extra SAT IIs? Like if I took Math IIC and U.S. History and scored 770+ on both of them, will the schools care that I scored 770+ on World History and Physics as well? Or will they only care about the two scores that they require for admissions?</p>
<p>if your scores are that high I doubt colleges will really look at them rather most likely they will just nod in approval. I think more scores are only really examined if there is an inconsistency for ex: a 620 IIC and a 800Physics. Then again it can't hurt... do whatever your schedule allows...</p>
<p>Psychologically, it can only help to have more high scores...but if you're scoring 770+ on two or three, you can probably find better things to do with your time than study for and take a 4th test...</p>
<p>If you want to take a third test, mix it up a little...take the Physics instead of World History (Unless you're applying to be a history major :) )</p>
<p>I took 6, bio, chem, physics, math 2c, writing, and latin, it really doesnt take that much effort to study for an SAT2, and other than the latin (darn vocab) I did really well in all of them. I of course only took this many because i thought/knew I would do well in all of them.</p>
<p>My real question is whether or not having a lot of good SAT II scores actually helps you in the process, even though the colleges only want two official scores.</p>
<p>Some college applications, including MIT and some other I can't remember now, only give you space to put 3 scores. Check the application forms of the colleges you wish to go to before you decide. Or you can take alot and put you highest scores on it. A friend of mine took 7 and only sent in the ones she got 800 on.</p>
<p>when u send a score report, which u must, all the scores show up on it. So what you write down has no effect, they will see all of them. I usually wrote down my math, my writing, and my chem, since they required math and writing, and chem was my best of the rest.</p>
<p>I thought you could send individual scores. You have to pay extra for all that report though.</p>
<p>You used to be able to send individual score reports...that ended about two years ago. Now the schools get everything.</p>
