Concerning UC Subject test requirements...

Applying to College

<p>It says on the Collegeboard site that math is required for UCI. Can anyone confirm this?</p>

<p>Also, I have heard that you are not allowed to take 2 subjects in the same relative area. I have been planning for a while now to take World and US History, but I am unsure after I heard this unconfirmed information. Is this true as well?</p>

<p>“Two SAT Subject Tests.
These must be in two different areas, chosen from the following: English, history and social studies, mathematics (Level 2 only), science or language other than English.”</p>

<p>For UCI … For High School Juniors and Seniors

  • Courses you should be taking now
  • Honors courses, Advanced Placement
  • SAT Reasoning Test or ACT Plus Writing and two SAT Subject exams
  • UC Irvine’s selection of freshmen students</p>

<p>Now specific schools may require certain tests .. for example it would not surprise me if architecture dn engineerignrequired the math … dig around for your major of interest.</p>

<p>Math as a subject is required for UC admissions. Three years I think, four recommended. For SAT subject tests, they don’t care whether you take math or not.</p>

<p>So my real question is this: are World History and US History considered two different subjects?</p>

5

<p>No … they are both history. </p>

<p>On the College Board web site, I think they have them categorized. Many folks take literature as their second SATII since it was likely a part of your hs curriculum.</p>

<p>Math Subject Test is only required (or highly recommended) for engineering programs. And, it has to be math 2 – UC will not accept Math 1. And, yes, Subject tests must be in different disciplines; two histories will not meet the admission requirement.</p>
