<p>My dad is urging me to take two extra SAT II tests to redeem for my first SAT I score. I am currently studying for the October SAT I, but I don't know if I will be able to handle the load of studying two subject tests along with a full AP schedule and 15+ hours a week for marching band.</p>
<p>Currently I have:
SAT: 1880 (690M,640W,560CR)
M IIC: 790
Bio E: 770
Phys: 750</p>
<p>I am confident that I can score above 2000 in October, but would taking two extra subject tests help? The two subjects in mind are US History and Chemistry. (both will be self studied)</p>
<p>SAT subject tests can't replace SATI; they are two separate things and colleges look at them separately
if you think you can handle it, i'd just take Oct. i mean your subject test scores are amazing so you might take US history to have an english/history type test to round it off, but i wouldn't take the SATII and just focus on the SATI :]
good luck and thank you for replying to my thread</p>
<p>The two SATII's would make no difference. You need a better SAT I score.</p>
<p>Only really hard schools GENERALLY (before i get flamed) want SAT II's. On top of that AP's don't really matter besides placement and the fact that you took the course. The 1880 --> 2000 jump i think is very possible for you. Your math 2 score proved that. and I got a 590 CR, and i got mine up to a 650. If I can, anybody can. You'll have above the 2000 no prob.</p>
<p>You have 3 SAT 2's, all with gorgeous scores. You don't need anymore. Right? Like the other posters SAT I trumps the SAT II's by a large amount. And you're right the AP's add a huge amount of stress. Your top priority should be the SAT I improvement.</p>
<p>Not to mention you're gonna self study CHEM and History. History you'll get a decent grade, but chem i'm always skeptical about. If you're going to take an SAT II I suggest History/Lit/something other than a science because you have math and two sciences already. That's IF you're gonna take an SAT 2 at all.</p>
<p>I do marching band too! Ha. Indeed 15+ hours a week...I never even thought about it.</p>
