Compared to the SAT I, or the SAT reasoning as it is more widely known, the SAT IIs actually show what you know and allow students to shine in subjects that they know. It is also a great way of showing the school and keeping track for yourself on how you are doing against a national pool of individuals. In your biology class you may be getting an A+ but you may get a 450 on the SAT II in biology. Unless everyone is at the AP level there is no way for the UCs to gauge how students are doing compared to students at other schools since each high school and each teacher has differnet requirements to get an A.
