<p>Hi, the thing below is from the yale site. I was just wondering if anyone has done this? Any idea if it would look better than sat 2’s? (i.e. just seeing an A instead of a 750 for phys and so on)</p>
<p>I plan on calling them tonight (stupid time difference…) just to get a clearer idea on this. However since there is no sat 2 for subjects such as economics im guessing I can’t use that one?</p>
<p>if anyone has any experience with this pls let me know</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Standardized Testing
Application requirements include the following standardized tests. You may choose between taking either:</p>
<p>• The SAT I and three SAT II Subject Tests (any three Subject Tests are acceptable for example: Math Level 1, Math Level 2 and Literature)</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>• The ACT</p>
<p>There are two exceptions:</p>
<li><p>Students whose home countries (e.g., mainland China) do not have a testing center are, of course, exempt from these testing requirements.</p></li>
<li><p>Students enrolled in A-level programs may use COMPLETED A-level results as a substitute for the SAT II Subject Tests on a one-for-one basis provided official test results arrive at Yale by February of 2007. Predicted A-level results may not be used as substitutions.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Umm, I'm pretty sure that's not what it means. It means an A-level program which is a different test, I believe; it does not mean an A in a class.</p>
<p>sorry i guess it can be confusing its just that when anyone here refers to 'A's' they're talking about a levels... i have my completed a levels. just to clarify my question </p>
<p>When it refers to one-for-one substitutions, does it mean that</p>
<p>1) I can only substitute 'the equivalent" A-level for the equivalent SAT 2? (e.g. A level math can only be used as a sub for SAT 2 Math (one or two I assume?), A level History can only be used to replace SAT 2 intl. history etc..)</p>
<p>or does it mean,</p>
<p>2) the 3 SAT 2's requirement can fulfilled by any 3 A levels.</p>
<p>If it is (2), would I be able to use the following combination to fulfill the 3 'SAT 2's' requirement? (I) A level History (ii) A level Physics (iii) A level Economics. (My confusion here arises as there is no SAT 2 economics)</p>
<p>Well when you apply, there aren't required SAT2 subjects that you have to take, so I would assume that that would be ok. It is a standardized test, so they know what level you are on.</p>
<p>oh yea that would make sense. thanks. i called them yesterday and the admissions officer i spoke to seemed to think i could use any 3 but she wasn't sure so she gave me the email of someone in intl admissions. hopefully ill get the official answer soon but it sounds promising :)</p>
