Did u study for SAT2's? They're supposedly easier because you can study for them.


No, I didn't study. I think it's pointless to study for standardized tests. They're standardized because you're already supposed to know it.

I actually thought I did pretty well until I looked at the percentiles. I got a 680 on my Lit one and a 660 on my Math Level II, which are 72nd and 54th percentiles, respectively. I'm used to being in the 90 something percentiles so those came as a bit of a shock.

SAT 2s aren't the same kind of standardized test. You're supposed to know the information because you've learned the subject, but that's like saying you wouldn't need to study for a final because you're already supposed to know it. It's not a reasoning test like the regular SATs.

It just didn't take any SAT 2s because they weren't required for any of the schools I applied to, and I didn't realize they were an easy way to earn college credit until it was too late.

I don't really study for my finals that much either unless I've completely forgotten something that's supposed to be on it. I think I didn't do that well on the Literature one because the English classes offered at my school are really generalized and not too in-depth. That's not an excuse, just that the other people taking them applying to the same schools I am generally have AP Lit or something where they would learn skills needed to apply to that test. The Math one, I'm not entirely sure what went wrong on. Maybe I was just having a bad day.

I don't either, but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't. Actually, I studied (er, a little) for all my finals last semester (as opposed to just the classes I wasn't doing well in), and my grades were better than the grades I usually make on easier finals.
