<p>Kay… So far i got
800 Math IIC
790 Korean
750 Chem</p>

<p>And we’re not too happy about the chem mark.<br>
The deal is, I didnt take the SAT I’s yet.
I find the ACT MUCH easier.
Also, There are 2 schools I want to get into. The #1 needs my test scores by October. The #2 school needs my scores by November. What should I do?!</p>

<p>Remember, testing days for ACT= Sept & Oct
testing days for SAT & SATII’s= Oct & Nov</p>

<p>THANKS =(</p>

<p>I thought…
1 Choice: Take ACT Sept, again in Oct Take SAT II chem Oct
2 Choice: Take ACT Sept, again in Oct, Take SAT I Oct
3 Choice: Take ACT Sept, again in Oct, Take SAT I Oct, SAT II Chem nov</p>

<p>What do u think? :(</p>

<p>you can usually “rush” your scores so that they are recieved on time…those are three quality SAT II marks, I would take the Sept. ACT and SAT II Chem in October…</p>

<p>You might have to just settle with 750–it’s oretty good–if you want the ACT that much…maybe you should just not do ACT altogether…If you think you’re fine with ACT then probably go with choice 1…</p>

<p>however…</p>

<p>I’m retaking two SATII’s in oct, and I’m doing ED at a school that needs application by nov. 1…I also have to retake my SAT in nov…I’m somewhat in the same dilemma…but I found out that you can just rush your SAT scores and it will be acceptable…</p>

<p>well, i’m doing a similar thing. SAT I will be in Oct and SAT II’s (Bio M and Chem) will be in Nov.</p>

<p>a 750 in chem is NOT the end of the world. it won’t realli matter between a 750 and 800 xcpt maybe a little if you’re applying for engineering or science programs. </p>

<p>otherwise, SAT I matters more. don’t waste your time taking something that won’t make or break your chances. focus more on building your ecs and essays</p>

<p>Ooh thanks guys…
So this rushing score deal… how does it all work?</p>

8

<p>Not sure, I think you have to call collegeboard and ask for it to be rushed…If you find out, please post here…as I’m also willing to know…</p>

<p>Rushing scores is usually useless. (See the parenthetical comment in the link below.) </p>

<p>Interesting concept…I also heard that ED applicants get mailing priveleges anyways…</p>

<p>A 750 Chem is not that bad. The other two should help you, so I don’t really see a need to retake at all. I would focus on the SAT I or the ACT, because colleges put much more weight on that than SAT IIs.</p>
