I should have had my kid take these exams as she completed the coursework rather than following the advice of the guidance and college counselor.

We were told to take the SAT IIs right after we took the corresponding AP exam. The only reason I took them was because Berkeley required them and Berkeley was my #2 choice until the fall of my senior year. If I had just stuck with the private schools, then I wouldn't have needed them. I had also taken the ACT.
