[quote=Anonymous]My junior is signing up now.  We are not sure what SAT IIs he should take.  For schools that "strongly recommend" two or three SAT IIs, should he just take them in the same subjects as his APs?  Combined with the one SAT II he took as a sophomore, this would give him a mix of science, humanities, and language.  I don't see why a college would want the SAT II if you can demonstrate competency in the same subject through the AP exam.  It seems redundant.   How important are the SAT IIs at the schools that recommend them, particularly if a student will also be submitting (I hope) several good AP scores?  Also, my DC did not take his counselor's advice to take the Math 2 test after Precalculus sophomore year (he just wasn't ready to dive into the whole college process at that point, not surprisingly!).  He doesn't want to go back and relearn that material now that he is in Calculus, but one school on his list specifically recommends an SAT II math.  Is it worth doing the work just for that school (probably not his top choice), or do colleges allow some flexibility here?
