What is the difference between SAT and SAT2?

SAT tests on English and math. SAT II tests on a single subject, such as languages, english, math, science, or history.

PSAT is supposed to be an easier version of the SAT. If you study for the SAT you should do fine on the PSAT. It is mostly likely the same type material. I used to work at Kaplan and the PSAT were in the same class as the SAT students.

Wow. You're really going all out to prepare for the MATH 2. Kudos to you!\n\nFrom what I know, the Barron's practices are VERY much harder than the actual test. The good thing is that they overprep you so that when you do take the real test, you'll find it so much simpler and will probably ace it.\n\nI used Princeton for Math 1 and I found that it was pretty similar to the real SAT. I'm not too sure about the Kaplan book. You should go to www.collegeconfidential.com to check the forums. They should be able to give you a better idea of how best to prepare for the test.\n\nGood luck for your SAT.

Most Universities that look at SAT IIs will want 3 subject tests. The subjects are generally up to you, but most schools want to see your Math IIC results. \n\nThe short answer is: no, you don't. Use whatever subjects you're good at.

I took the GRE a little over a year ago.    I don't know if you took the SAT to get to undergrad, but the GRE is a bit different because of the format in which it's administered now.  They now ask you to go to a testing center and take the test on the computer.  It's a strange testing environment; it doesn't have the same sort of communal in-it-together atmosphere that the SAT or the LSAT have.  You're in a booth with scrap paper and a pencil. People watch you over video and it's self timed.\n\nDon't underestimate the environment/computerized test portion's influence on your scores.  You'll have to learn to test-take differently -- you can't underline, you can't draw diagrams on the side, you can't take one question and return to it.  You have to progress linearly.  You answer one question, they evaluate how you did and then offer the next question based on how they've calibrated your score from your previous answer.\n\nThis was fine for the writing portion.  I find that I'm accustomed to writing on the computer.  However, it was much harder for me to get used to the multiple choice on the computer format.\n\nOther than that, the content is not far different from SATs.  If you're like me, you'll have to brush up on math.   The verbal part is still a lot of reading comp and analogies.\n\nI always recommend studying, even if you are a strong standardized test taker.  These tests need practice.  Practice *on the computer*!

The ACT is not "easier" because scores are still distributed and evaluated based on percentiles (usually adjusted yearly) -- the only way it could be "easier" is if less talented people took it but it was still given equal weight with the SAT. Since this obviously isn't the case you should take both and if you bomb one, submit only your score for the test you do well on. The tests -are- different and some do better on one than the other. So take the ACT and see how you do.

I never took either one. Have you transferred your credits from your Jr. college? This is what I did and I didn't need the tests. I have heard the SAT is easier. Most colleges should be able to set you up with the schedule, or I am sure there is something on line. Check the web site. There should be testing dates and locations there.\nBest wishes going back to school. I have started this too, but I am a few years older than you. But It Is better to do it while you are younger!

the sat goes to 2400 now, i didnt even know that. I thought it still went to 1600 in which case a 1570 would put you in the category of "genius".

I'm guessing this is for Florida.. The FCAT is Florida's Comprehensive Assessment Test, and the HSCT is the High School Competency Test. The SAT is a college entrance exam, and the PSAT is the Pre-SAT which is basically used to determine where you are at this point in your education.\n\nI have no idea what the rest of those are. Your unweighted GPA is your grade point average with a scale only going to 4.0. A weighted GPA would be if you have honors/AP classes.

Hi again, hope you don't mind. :) If you buy a college handbook, it will tell you which colleges need SATs, also, each one will say so on their website. There are also many websites (like collegeboard.com) that will give you stats and requirements of colleges. I believe there are a few innovative colleges out there that do NOT require SATs, but may require extra graded highschool essays, SAT IIs, or other information instead. \n\nThis site: http://www.collegenews.org/x5202.xml gives a list of colleges that have made SATs optional for admission. I hope it helps.\n\n"January, 2006- Drew University and Lawrence University recently joined a growing list of liberal arts colleges that have made the submission of standardized test scores optional.  According to the National Center for Fair and Open Testing, about a quarter of all colleges nationwide no longer require standardized tests.  Is it possible that standardized tests -- criticized for cultural bias and for favoring students who can afford to pay for expensive test preparation courses -- may become increasingly less relevant to the admissions process, even at very selective colleges and universities?"(From website)

The College Board might have it.  They are the administrator of the SAT.  If depends on their retention policy.

Sign up for SAT online at collegeboard.com\n\nYou can take the SATs as many times as you want. The score may improve (depending on how well you do) or it may drop. Either way, the college takes your best score.

Hi there, \n\nYou didn't mention in which country you stay. Anyways, if you are speaking of SAT, I suggest you go for KAPLAN SAT Comprehensive program (Book+Online Course). More information is available at http://www.kaptest.com/\nPrinceton Review is also good.\n\nHope this helps. If not, I'd be glad to assist you further. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

Been there, done that. In my case the best way to memorize SAT vocabulary is to play matching games with words on http://www.internetpolyglot.com/lessons-en-en?lessonName=SAT

You don't have to take SAT. If you go to a community college for your gen ed requirements (math, English, etc) then transfer into a 4 year program you don't need SATs only good grades. Also if you are an older student returning to school (24 +) look into continuing education or returning student or adult learner programs at the university. Often times requirements such as SATs are not required for entry. The programs often have more support built in but you'll be taking classes with the younger students and obtain the same degree. I did this to get into a private 4 year college with a GED. I went on to graduate with honors and get a master's degree. I also worked for several years at a community college much of my job was advising students.

everyone is supposed to take the SAT 1 so you can't skirt your way out of that; every college no matter what major requires SAT 1.\n\nTo get rid of useless courses, take Math 2 and concentrate very hard on it. The purpose of SAT 2 tests is to place out of those boring  intro classes first semester. Given your intended major and program, math is the least of your worries so it's best to get rid of it now.\n\nIf you are taking AP exams, then SAT 2 tests are useless.\n\nAlways contact your intended university to find out what requirements are needed to get in, both to the school and to your major.
