<p>I know that the Hebrew SAT II has an extremely unfavorable curve.
Do colleges take this into account?
What's considered a really good score on it? (By which I mean, a score that is actually impressive, not what people will tell you is good to make you feel better :D )</p>
<p>700+ im guessing...if ur just a plain american jew who learned hebrew in school and u dont read it or speak it very fluently i would stay away from it...
i kno hebrew since i was 4 or 5 and im not taking it because i dont think i kno enough...if u want give it a shot but i wouldnt unless ur israeli or u speak it at home or something...</p>
<p>i've known hebrew my entire life (second-generation israeli) but the fact of the matter is, although I can speak it fluently, I can't write or read all that proficiently. So although I'm fluent, I'm staying away from it.</p>
<p>I already took the test and I just wanted to know how I might benefit from it. I expect I got about 77-80 out 85, raw score.
I went to a yeshiva 1st to 8th grade, and kept up my knowledge of the language on my own in high school.
Ninety percent of the test isn't very hard at all - the only problem lies in that other 10%, and in the sadistic curve.</p>
<p>Ya in the same boat... not native-born, but have been studying it in school.... i read that if you get 4 wrong, you're down to around a 680.. and heard from m guidance counselor that a 790 is already NOT a high percentile... (something tells me the number 60th percentile was mentioned but i'mnot sure..) so **** it ... colleges hopefully take it into account :(</p>
<p>hehe.. i was having trouble finding which page the physics sat was on (i forgot there was a table of contents on the front cover!) and i saw the modern hebrew sat. it just looked so durned wacky because the ABCD's were in reverse. anyway, good luck toeveryone who took the test.</p>
<p>yea RC, im also fluent but i cant read/write .. haha, its sad</p>
