SAT 2's - How important

Colleges & Universities Boston College
1

<p>are they counted as much as the SAT 1?
less?
a lot less?</p>

<p>i did really good on em, but poorly on SAT 1</p>

2

<p>less dude.</p>

<p>some schools use em only for placement.</p>

<p>but i have zero idea in BC’s case.</p>

<p>good sat2s can only help u tho…</p>

3

<p>darn i guess studying for those was a waste</p>

<p>i got a 790 and a 760</p>

<p>why couldnt i have done that on SAT 1</p>

<p>and seriously SAT 2’s are so much more realistic</p>

<p>the SAT 1 is a horrid test and has nothing to do with school</p>

<p>the SAT 2’s are like class finals thus being more like school thus prooving moree</p>

<p>dumb system</p>

4

<p>it is a dumb system, that’s why more and more schools are getting away from or putting less emphasis on the SATs as a whole…at the rate its going now, in the future a lot more schools wont require the SAT (i guess it depends on how their studies go too, to make sure that SAT performance doesn’t necessarily show college performance)…but can u imagine, collegeboard out of business!? i cant wait til the day when that happens! they certainly know how to suck up money!</p>

5

<p>SAT 2’s are legit tests</p>

<p>not just saying that cuz i did good on em either</p>

6

<p>good thing i just sent in my ACT score</p>

7

<p>look at it this way…once we get in, we’ll never have to ever worry about them again!</p>

8

<p>The SAT II are absolutely not legit tests. I take chemistry at Wesleyan University, one for the best colleges in the world, and I only received a 670 on them.</p>

9

<p>yeh i have an A+ in Ap Bio and my teacher was an ex professor at colleges so u kno its legit and i only got like 600 something on the Sat 2 bio</p>

10

<p>im pretty sure the sat 2’s are a good determination on your overall knowledge of that certain subject and the materials on them can be learned if you know what you should know</p>

11

<p>ughh 650 USH and 670 Math 2. oh well.
31 ACT trumps this i hope.</p>

12

<p>think it was a good choice to send a 33 ACT (34E, 34M, 28R, 33W/E, 36S) instead of a 2100 (770M, 630R, 700Wr) sat and a 750 Spanish, 730 BioM, and 700 Math2 on sat2s? The bio one depends on what you focus on in your class. i did significantly better on the test than other kids in my ap bio class, but i took the Molecular one and they took the Ecology one</p>

13

<p>BC requires you to take the SAT I along with…
2 SAT Subjects OR
ACT</p>

14

<p>yes but do think it woulda been better if i sent both or just the act?</p>

15

<p>Well you need to send your SAT score report anyway for the SAT I. I sent them both, they’ll just use whichever they like better.</p>
