SAT II TEST

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.

What is SAT-II?

SAT II (SAT – SUBJECT TESTS) What is SAT-II? SAT Subject Tests are designed to assess your academic readiness for college. Some colleges require the applicants to take SAT-II Subject Tests in addition to SAT-I. Subject Tests provide schools with a standard measure of academic performance, which they use to compare the applicants from different high schools and different educational backgrounds. This information helps them to decide whether a student is ready to handle their curriculum. SAT-II tests demonstrate your interest, knowledge, and skill in specific topics and can measure your and every other applicant’s knowledge and skills. SAT-II tests allow colleges to easily compare you to other applicants. Colleges use SAT II tests to determine placement.

IELTS Scoring

IELTS Scoring Test takers receive a score for each test component – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The individual scores are then averaged and rounded to produce an Overall Band Score. Band scale There is no pass or fail. IELTS is scored on a nine-band scale, with each band corresponding to a specified competence in English. Overall Band Scores are reported to the nearest half band. The following rounding convention applies: if the average across the four skills ends in .25, it is rounded up to the next half band, and if it ends in 5.75, it is rounded up to the next whole band. The nine bands are described as follows: 9 Expert User Has full operational command of the language: appropriate, accurate and fluent with complete understanding. 8 Very Good User Has fully operational command of the language with only occasional unsystematic inaccuracies and inappropriacies.
