<p>I'm planning on applying for a UC, and I was wondering if just taking the SAT and the SAT II is enough? I know a lot of people who are taking both the ACT and SAT..
Should I also do the ACT?
Or just are the SATs enough...</p>
<p>Either test is perfectly fine. Oftentimes people take both because they want to see if they are more adept at either one or the other-- and then end up sending in whichever score is best out of the two. You’re golden with the SAT and SAT II. It’s completely sufficient.</p>
<p>Ahh! Thank you so muchhh. This is real helpful :].</p>
<p>I’ve took the ACT, and it’s not going all well. I’m thinking about switching to taking the SAT in October, what is SAT II?</p>
<p>Coolbrezze, SAT II (or now called SAT Subject Tests) is just a test on a specific subject. For example, Literature, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Bio, etc, etc. Some schools require it to get into the school, like MIT I think requires a science SAT II and either Math I or Math IIC because they want to see how strong you are in the subject area (MIT of course is a very competitive technical school, so they want to see how good you are in math + science).</p>
<p>Okay thanks, I’m going to see to taking the SAT… see which I do better on.</p>
