<p>IMO the SAT II is a much better gauge of the performance and abilities of a student and their potential as academic students. For instance its fair that 2 kids who want to major in biology, the one getting a 800 has a advantage over the kid with the 680. </p>
<p>Nonetheless, I’ve heard that many schools use your SAT’s to see if your’e in the ballpark, and then they look at SAT II’s if at all in later stages. I imagine that State schools base most if not all on reasoning test because more people ahve taken it.</p>
