Okies, I went after having signed up (on-line) for Writing, Math IIC, and French.

Got there, saw Anji (hi Anji) and friends from school (hi friends). Sat down and the nice lady gave me a FLIPPING HUGE BOOK (like 400 pages). Momentarily freaked out, until I realized that there are like fifteen tests in this book. Nice lady told us that we must take the Writing test first (if we are taking Writing). Her status was downgraded to mean lady... I hate writing. Opened the book, wrote on the essay "Style is more important than substance" for twenty minutes. Finished that, went on to 80 PSAT-style grammar questions (with extra-crunchy goodness). Had some fun peeking at the Hebrew SAT II (people take that test?) After the hour was up, I took Math IIC (take IIC, not IC, colleges like it better and all it adds is trig). Watched Anji grimace while trying to take her Physics SAT II. Easy questions in math, but tons of them. I barely finished. Finally, took French, and I had been preparing for this one all year, so it was much fun. (Note: grammar was harder than prepared material, reading comp was easier. French books need to work more on grammar.)

thank you much sir! that helps alot. so you just take whatever you've signed up for, and stay for however long that takes? my "reach" school wants three (including writing) what would you recommend taking? PS: Cait is NOT qualified for french <_< . lol, i've had the equivalent of our seventh grade class twice since then... thanks so much for your help, i feel less stupid now.

Colleges all require writing, one math (either IC or IIC), and a third of your choice. Literature is quite easy if you like reading comp (no outside knowledge of literature required, everything's given to you). History is generally a pain. I'm going to take three more in the spring, one of which will be Bio-M (they have ecology-biology (Bio-E) and molecular biology (Bio-M)). The Bio tests have sixty questions that are the same for both tests and then twenty test-specific questions. But all the molecular bio questions are super easy. Call your science teacher and ask them for the sample test, They all get one mailed to them in the middle of the school year.

I didn't take any...then again, I didn't even apply to anything Ivy League, so I suppose I woulda had to take 'em if I'd done that.

Ivy League's over-rated anyway :P

Hehehe... 800 Math IIC, 800 Writing (11 out of 12 on essay), 740 French :D
