TAKE THREE SAT – II TESTS
- It’s a good idea to take three SAT-II tests that cover a range of subjects.
- For medical as a career, you have to take Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
AgaKhan Medical College
- Require SAT-II Biology, Chemistry and Physics-with a score of 650 in each.
- For Engineering as a career, you have to take Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (either Maths IC or Maths IIC).
Maths IC and Maths IIC
- Some students take both Math SAT II tests. The two tests cover similar topics, but the Math IIC covers more material than the Math IC does.
- Level IC covers three years of college – preparatory math: two years of Algebra, and one year of Geometry. Level IIC assumes that in addition to those three years, you’ve also taken a year of trigonometry and/or precalculus.
- Not only does the Math IIC test cover additional topics, it also covers the basic topics in more difficult ways than the Math IC test does.
- If you wanted to get a 600 on either test, you would need around 20 correct answers on the IIC test and 33 on the IC test.
- Students probably do well on the Math IC test, but colleges will most certainly be more impressed by a student who does pretty well on the Math IIC than one does very well on the Math IC.
- You can take THREE TESTS on one day.
Advance Placement (AP) Tests
Advance Placement Test is also acceptable in lieu of SAT-II with a minimum score of 4.
- Ap tests are harder than the SAT II tests, and as a result, they carry quite a bit more distinction.
- SAT-II tests give you the opportunity to show colleges that you can learn and do well when you need to. Taking AP tests shows colleges that you want to learn as much as you can.
