Taking 2 SAT language tests to prove bilinguality?

Test Preparation

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>It's my first time posting here so bear with me if I do or write anything awkward..
So I'm a half Japanese half Chinese but I think of myself as a Japanese because I lived in Japan for 12 years and am fluent in Japanese language. (I am a Japanese citizen) However, because my dad is Chinese, I have a Chinese last name. </p>

<p>Because my third language is Chinese, I took the SAT Chinese listening test last year and (surprisingly,) did quite well and got 780. But after the test, my friends told me that my test score is not significant because almost all the people who take the Chinese subject test speak Chinese as their first language. </p>

<p>Because there are a lot of Chinese people who "buy" Japanese nationality to differentiate themselves, I'm scared the colleges will think I'm just a Chinese student fluent in Chinese, who uses her identity as a Japanese citizen. </p>

<p>I was thinking of taking the Japanese listening test to prove that I am fluent in both languages, but I don't know if that's a good idea. I am planning to take the Math 1 subject test in October, so I was thinking about taking the Japanese test as well in the same sitting. </p>

<p>It would be great if you guys could share your opinions.</p>

<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>Japanese is only offered in November. Whether or not you want to take it is up to you.</p>

<p>That said, I would not suggest using either Chinese or Japanese as 1 of your required SAT Subject tests (if the colleges you plan on applying require them). They will see right through that charade.</p>

<p>You could also take the AP tests in both and perhaps get college credit.</p>
