As the application process is beginning to pick up for 2018, I have been working on completing some of my final requirements for said application. In the testing area, I scored a 36 on the ACT, but I also took the SAT for National Merit and scored a 1550 (750 CR+W, 800 M). Although I believe this is a good score, I am sure I could do better given the time during the summer–time which I did not have during the school year–to work on the reading section, where I missed all 5 of my questions. At the same time, I am taking/considering taking the subject tests on each of the next two test dates–the last two before November 1, the early decision deadline for Stanford (and I don’t necessarily want to wait until regular decision if I don’t have to). I’ll be taking Math 2 and Physics in June–although Stanford merely recommends them I feel it is still nice to have them–but I also am considering tests in Spanish and French in October as this is one of the only ways during the remaining months to prove my proficiency in those languages. (I don’t think there is a limit on the number of SAT II’s that can be reported, but if there is let me know.)
Obviously I cannot take both the regular SAT and the SAT II in October, and I was wondering what you think regarding which one I should take. Personally, I feel that scoring high on these subject tests would add more than an extra 50 points on the SAT, as it would show that I am proficient to an extent in three languages.
