SAT II Tests?
Asked by ching chongI'm currently a junior in high school. I'm planning on taking the SAT I Reasoning Test in March 2008. Is this a good time to take it? Are the SAT II Subject Tests required or recommended by Ivies? When is the best to take them before application deadline? Are they difficult?

Yes, March is fine. That way, when you get your score back, you can decide if you need to study and retake it before/at the beginning of your senior year. Yes SAT II subject tests are required by Ivies if you want to be competitive. Generally, people take SAT II tests after they've taken the class for that subject. For example, people tend to take the SAT II US history after taking AP US, Math2c while taking Calculus, etc. It would probably be a good idea to take some SAT II's before the end of the school year. That way, when senior year rolls around, you can focus on applications and essays and NOT worry about taking SATs.
