<p>Benefit of taking 4 Subject tests?
I have taken two subject tests so far. Math IIC-670 and US History 750</p>

<p>On Saturday I am taking Math IIC and Physics. I expect Math IIC to shoot up because I am doing heavy prep and I am relatively good at math...I got a 5 on Calc BC as a junior. Physics I am working hard and praying to get over 700.</p>

<p>Anyway I am thinking of taking Spanish w/listening since I am a native speaker and it seems pretty easy looking at the official CB test.</p>

<p>Is there any benefit to sending in 4 subject tests when a school only required 2 or 3?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Generally speaking, a greater variety of test scores submitted can only work in your favor, since it gives the admissions committee more data points and demonstrates your abilities in a broad cross-section of subjects. Having said that, from Georgetown's point of view, there is no value to students taking a SAT II Subject Test in their native language. These tests are designed for students learning the language as a foreign tongue - native speakers are expected to receive a perfect score on it. As a result, there is no benefit, from an admissions standpoint, of taking a foreign language Subject Test in your native language.</p>
