Thanks jackie. He is planning to take the SAT IIs that correspond to his 3 APs in May, then take the Spanish test in early June when he’s had as much Spanish as possible. and he will not be taking Spanish next year as a Sr, so really has to get this test out of the way this year, if he does indeed take it (we’ll see if he bombs a practice). He is so done with Spanish that there is no way I could stretch it out till next year. If it doesn’t work out, that’s ok, we’ll deal with whatever happens.

We previously hadn’t planned for him to do the Spanish test just because we knew he was not getting a good education in it and would probably do poorly. But he and I visited Pomona College in October and fell in love with the school (danger, danger), and were told the various ways you can test out of their language requirement, including getting a 650 on the SAT II (without listening, I believe), so he thought he might as well try. I need to confirm that. Of course, we know that Pomona is a crap-shoot school, and we are going in to this with eyes open.
