<p>Hi! I am currently a junior, and I got a 2240 sat: 690 math, 760 reading, 790 writing. The math annoys me because I have an A in AP Calc... But I'm not sure if I've done much better on practice tests.
I took the ACT too, and got a 33 composite: 35 reading, 33 writing (10 essay), 32 science, 35 English, and 30 math.</p>
<p>SO I know the scores are about equal, so I'll probably end up sending both to colleges when that comes.. ALSO with the ACT I think you don't have to send SAT subject tests, even for colleges requiring these, I'd you have the writing section? Is this true? I'm not sure if I should do the SAT subject tests or not and need help deciding! Especially because I will also have AP Test scores to send....</p>
<p>P.S. I have a 3.99 UW GPA, will have 8 AP Classes total, and do a lot of ECs I don't want to list right now.. I'm looking at Carleton, Vassar, Uchicago, rice, USC, and other schools like this</p>
<p>should I dO SAT SUbject or not? THANKS</p>
<p>It depends on the schools you are applying to. Some schools require 2 subject tests even if you have taken the ACT. Since you are a Junior you have time to take the tests. I would take the math II after you are done with AP calc and take another subject test in some subject that you have done well on the AP test. If you don’t do well which I highly doubt you don’t need to send them. However if you do well you can send them and they will look at them. For example my son(12th grade) took both the ACT and SAT and 2 subject tests. Most schools he didn’t bother sending his subject tests because he didn’t think it really mattered however he did send them to Georgia Tech and I think that helped him get accepted.</p>
<p>Like MichiganGeorgia has already said, it depends on the school. For most state schools and for some top 20 schools, including Yale and others, you don’t need to take the SAT II. For more selective schools, subject tests are either recommended or required. Stanford is an example of a college that “recommends” SAT II tests and Harvard is an example of a college that requires them.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the help!</p>
