<p>Is there a point to taking more than 3 subject tests?</p>
<p>I've seen a bunch of people on CC with 10+ APs, but only 3 or 4 SAT subjects, so it seems to be mostly disregarded. Is anybody taking more than 3?</p>
<p>There are definitely people who have more than 3 subject tests. I personally took 5, and I’ve seen in a number of other threads that there are also plenty of other people who took more than 3 tests.</p>
<p>My son took five.</p>
<p>Oops, I missed this question the first time around: </p>

<p>Taking a variety of subject tests is good if you want to demonstrate the breadth of your knowledge. It can also be helpful if you intend to show that you have a strong interest in a particular subject (i.e. a science nut taking the tests in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics). In my case, I am multilingual, and wanted to show my proficiency through taking both AP and SAT II tests. I took French, Chinese with Listening, and Spanish (scored 800, 800, and 790 respectively), and scored 5’s on the AP’s in all those languages as well as English.</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll probably end up going the science nut route and taking 4 or 5, then.</p>
<p>My son was interested in taking more, but not interested in overly studying. He fears taking >2 or 3 may penalize him if he doesn’t put a lot of study time into it.</p>
<p>We’ve found Pomona College doesn’t allow score choice on the SAT subject tests and requires all subject tests scores be submitted. We haven’t found any other school that has this requirement. </p>
<p>Since you all are taking >3 I was wondering if you know of any schools that require all subject tests be sent.</p>
