All the schools I am planning to apply says “recommended” for SAT II’s, which I know basically they want you to take it if you can.
But is it worth it if you have a not high enough SAT I (2200s)? I am hoping to do engineering at top schools (ex. UCB) and I know I can get better on my SAT I. Should I raise my SAT I score or take SAT II for November, since it will be the last time to take it before some admissions? Also, I am doing IB full diploma and I am doing Higher Level Physics (but not Math), which I don’t know if they look at for reference.
