[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh and SAT IIs did exist -- they were called Achievement Tests when I applied to college, but yeah APs were few and far between and SAT prep meant buying a book at the mall and taking some badly-designed multiple choice tests in it.  At that point, College Board didn't release old tests and companies like Barron's did a poor job of replicating them.[/quote]

I did an SAT prep class in the early 80's.   Our neighbor ran one.  We had the option of 6-8 AP.  My kids have the option of over 20.  [/quote]

9:43 here. We didn't have them, that I know of, in the early '80s in a city of about 70,000.  If SATIIs/Achievement tests existed, they weren't on my radar screen (and I applied to the most competitive colleges).  You guys must have lived in much more sophisticated places. ;)[/quote]

Weird -- I thought they were obligatory for the two Ivies I applied to in the late 70s.  DH, same year and opposite end of the country, took them as well.  But both of us lived in emerging tech areas, so maybe it was just conventional wisdom in our HSs that you needed to take them rather than an actual admissions requirement.  [/quote]
