ACT and/or SAT??

[bluebayou]

<p>From UC website:</p>

<p>

Freshman applicants who graduated from high school in spring 2005 or earlier are required to have taken the SAT I (or ACT) and three SAT II: Subject Tests prior to high school graduation.

</p>

<p>UC changed it’s math requirement with the ‘invention’ of the New SAT, i.e., effective graduating HS classes of 2006. Under the “old” SAT which had two sections, UC required three SAT II’s: Lit, one of the maths, and a SAT II of student choice; total of 5 tests. Since the New SAT has three sections (and the SAT-M includes Alg II problems), UC decreased the requirement to two Subject Tests and dropped the math requirement; still five test requirement (ACT+W counts as three tests since subscores are used in the calculation.</p>

<p>

If you took the ACT plus Writing exam: Convert your highest math, reading, science and combined English/writing score from a single sitting to equivalent UC scores (see the translation table below). Multiply the sum of your converted math, reading and science scores by two-thirds, then add the converted English/writing score. Add this subtotal to your two highest SAT Subject Test scores from two different subject areas, which are also converted to equivalent UC Scores. Example: (math + reading + science) x 0.667 + English/writing + Subject Test 1 + Subject Test 2) = UC Score Total.
