SAT is 2050
SAT II is 760 (Math II) and 630 (US Hist)
APs are 3 (Eng Lang) and 4 (APUSH)</p>

<p>Speak with your teachers, and find out which colleges/universities in your area produce graduates who are hired. Teacher hiring is very local, and certification requirements vary by state. You need to take your teacher’s ed. coursework in the state where you want to begin your career.</p>
