Confused! 3 Or 2 Subject Tests?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>okay. so I took
us history
chem
world history
and on some of the schools websites, it says 3 subject tests required.
so i took three.
but people are telling me that. us and world only count as one since they're in the same "areas of study"?
is this true?
and also for the UC, MATH 2C isnt required anymore right?
so u can take anything you want?</p>

<p>For most of the UC's, the Math IIC exam is required. I believe it may be all the UC's.</p>

3

<p>if you are considering schools that require 3 you should have mathII</p>

4

<p>For UC, world history and US history is the same subject area</p>

<p>From the UC website

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>If you decide to take a Math Subject Test, the UC's only count the Math IIC. You are not required to take any one particular subject test for the UC's. So one can still get accepted by a UC if one took only the US History and Literature subject tests, for instance.</p>

<p>Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though!</p>

^ The UC doesnt require MATH 2C anymore.
so wait. I took Chemistry and US hISTORY.but then....</p>

<p>UC's need two, some private schools need three.</p>

<p>UC's don't require Math IIC, but if you're applying for engineering then it would be recommended.</p>

<p>i only know of princeton and harvard who still insist on three. maybe stanford? most schools have recognized that two's enuff because the writing switched.</p>

<p>if the school requires 3, AND each from different subject areas, then u should take math, which is from math "subject area", because US his and world his r from the same area. but if the school doesn't require that the tests should be from different areas, then it's ok if u take both US and world. </p>

<p>for UC's, they require 2 from different subject areas. Math II is not required. It's just that IF u'r gonna take a test from the math area, it has to be math II.</p>
