LIMom: It's definitely not necessary to get 800s to get into excellent schools!

Fellow NY'er here. She can wait till the end of pre-calc to take SAT Math II. If she's already had two years of NY global history and is now taking AP Euro, I'd guess she's well prepared for the SAT World History test. If she's doing AP Euro as a substitute for the second half of World history she might be a little weak on the world part of the test. But I'd guess she's still okay, esp. if the school is recommending it. She should take a look at a review book and see how well it aligns with the curriculum. (I should probably look too, my sophomore is doing AP World History.) Not all school require SAT 2s , but some do, it's much easier to take the tests when the material is fresh. Most require two, a few tippy top schools require three. Her PSAT scores suggest that she's likely to do very well on any SAT2s she takes this year.

twinmom - I'm not the perfectionist in the family - she is............lol. Really, she knows it's not necessary to retake the exam, but I think she will - it's just the way she is.
