How significant are SATIIs?

<p>Depends on the school. I think the harder the schools are, the more important they become because everyone gets good enough grades at SAT I’s at hard schools. I know Harvard says they’re more important than SAT I’s are. This is quoted from Tokenadult’s summary on a Harvard informational meeting he attended and I think is exactly what the representative said. </p>

<p>“There are a lot of students with A’s, and test scores help us distinguish among them. Standardized tests are comparison tools. The better predictors are SAT II Subject Tests and AP tests. They are more important than the SAT I or the ACT. You may have read that colleges are expressing doubt about standardized tests, but I’ll give you a clue: We won’t be cutting back on tests. We might require five SAT II tests. Those are less coachable than the SAT I. Working hard as a student is more important than taking tests.”</p>
