Are subject tests worth it?

<p>Hello CC,
I'm an international undergraduate student looking to transfer to a top school in the US (ivies and ivy equivalents). I was wondering if it is worth it for me to take any SAT subject tests. Are the subject tests more important for non-transfer students?</p>

<p>The subject tests I was looking to take are Math II and Physics, but given that I've already completed several calculus and physics courses at my current university (NOT a community college), I don't see why colleges would need to test my knowledge of high school level material.</p>

<p>It explicitly states on most of the universities' websites that students who choose not to take subject tests will NOT be at a disadvantage, but I'm not sure how true this is.
For what it's worth, I received a 2390 on the SAT I so I probably don't need to bolster this score with additional tests.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
