Question

alright
im applyin for MIT and on the MIT website it says people who have been speaking english for less than 5 years and people who don speak english at home are recommended to take TOEFL instead of SAT
well
i have been living in texas for 3 years and im becoming a junior and i don speak english at home but i have average score in sat (around 2000) and is still improving
so would it be better to submit both TOEFL and SAT
or just SAT
i mean english is my second language and is quite hard still

A 2000 isn't an average score...it's 500 points above average. Gawd.

Take the TOEFL if your english skills can't cut it on the SAT. But if you're at a 2000, you must at least semi know what you're doing.
