If we dont get a good grade on this, (assuming you are Korean(American))
we're screwed.

So. How many questions can we omit and get an 800? Is that even possible?
One question wrong brings you down to like a 740 I heard.. whats the deal with that?
Where are you guys taking it?

Cham na mee chi gae ssuh T_T

[팥빙수<3]

IM TAKING IT TOMRROW AND GETTING ONE WRONG WONT BRING IT DOWN TO 740 ;; THERES 80-85 QUESTIONS. IF YOU GET 5 WRONG, ITS OKAY BECAUSE IT`LL STILL BE 800. SO NO WORRIES YEA? LOL U NEED TO GET AT LEAST GET 78-80 RIGHT TO GET 800.

DUNT WORRY .. REVIEW YOUR MATERIALS AND GOOD LUCK ON THE TEST TOMRROW

[chibifry]

okay that made me feel better you rock my non existant socks
YAY LETS ALL KILL THE KOREAN SAT II!

back to reading practice passages about dumb people like young joo and hong kil dong

[JuWon6o]

i heard its very easy.
lotta my friends got like 750+.

I'm still worried though, my korean skills have been going down the past few years.
Still fluent but not as fluent as before.

I think most of the korean american kids taking this exam are like that - well I know I am. I might be fluent but my grammatical skills are fairly sucky and theres stupid crap on the test sometimes like proverbs and stuff but mostly it should be answerable even without prior knowledge.

Im taking the past korean SATIIs as practice ^^ a past teacher of mine is .. well a real teacher and she had some copies & yeah.. good stuff.

[euniice]

DONT stress. its easy peasy.
if you speak korean at home or are fluent enough to watch dramas.. you'll ace it.
i got several wrong and still got 800. im sure you guys will all do well
good luck!

[chibifry]

Okay I took it
What the heck.. some people listened to the passages over ! The idiot I am, I thought I wouldnt be able to listen to passages more than once and so I missed like 2 questions cause I was listening and looking at the wrong questions T_T frick

did you guys go back and listen to it again?

[H1PP0]

haha i had to decide weather to take sat II krn or reasoning.

haha i took it today. i regret not picking korean its fricken easy.

[Tammie]

Some of my friends tell me that if you're sure that you're not getting an 800,
then don't take it because a lot of people pass it with perfect score.
Is this true though?

[Lebanese_Blonde]

^
its true but just try your best

and chibifry: hehe yeah i went back but i was the only one...everyone else in the room were native koreans with korean citizenship

[Hoii]

I was thinking of taking that next year the next time, depending on how good my skills are at that time... can anyone give an approx. level of difficulty of the test? I'll be in Korean 3 at that time, but I'm not sure how much I'll need to know for the test. I'm not of Korean origin, so I'm wondering if my level will be high enough to take it...? What do you all think, truthfully? I don't want to waste my time if it's too hard -__-

I dont think it will be too hard but you need to know things like Korean sounds/descriptions/phrases.. err I dont know how to explain it. Like stars go bbank jak bbank jak (they shine/sparkle)

That kind of stuff. Thats the only difficult thing I can think of if you're not of Korean origin..

[Eddie]

I really don't understand it when Korean natives take Korean, Chinese natives take Chinese, Spanish/Hispanic natives take Spanish, etc etc.

Maybe, I'm narrow-minded?

Come on!
There are like 10+ subject tests! lol.

[팥빙수<3]

I TOOK THE TEST .. IT WAS FREAKING EASY OMG -__-;; .. LOL

Cause the 800's. LOL.

You know how UC's combine your sati & ii's? That 800 can be useful.. ^^;; (because they have this point system thing).

my friend took the test.. he said it was hard.

[seohee]

yeah, the test was really easy. but i understand how it could have been a little hard for some koreans because of vocab. and stuff like that. but still, if you're into korean dramas and all that, it was very doable xD.

[Hoii]

So they ask about "sounds" of things....? Is the question like "what kind of sounds do stars make?" or what? Like do you remember any types of the questions on the test? I'm just curious to see the level. And when it's called the listening test, does that just mean they play the questions on... speakers or something? Is it more about your ability to understand verbal Korean? Sorry for so many questions, haha.

[sunshinex3]

holy crap i just took that yesterday.
it was mad easy...
nd i'm not native to korea. i'm korean-american.
do schools consider that? -.-

it was more like stars shine ______. and then the answer choices with one of them being bban jjak bban jjak.

anyway i thought it was really easy but i don't know what i'll get. my parents said they'll kill me if i get less than 800 since i was born and raised in korea until i was 8.

I heard you listen to some ahjooma talk about how the piggy goes to school and the question they give you is where the piggy went? so where did the daeji go folks? the market!!
