<p>take the sat and the sat 2 in three subjects, when the college ask for it??
i am still new at town and i think it is a hard thing to make 4 tests.
thanks.</p>
<p>no, ignore it if you don't want to. In fact, treat everything the colleges ask for as optional. Too much trouble to write essays? Skip them! Sending transcripts a pain? Don't!</p>
<p>I'll give you a less sarcastic response. If a college asks for something, it's generally not a good idea to skip out on it.</p>
<p>Well you basically have to take the SAT/ACT - I know there are a few colleges that don't require them, but those are a very small minority. As for the SAT IIs, most top schools require two or three as well as the regular SAT I/ACT. If you already know which colleges you are interested in, check and see if they require the subject tests. If you are not sure, I would definitely take a few in case.</p>
<p>so if i want to take the sat what should i study?
like is there a special book or something.?</p>
<p>Check out the SAT prep section of this board. </p>
<p>And yes, if a college you apply to requires a certain number of subject tests, you'll need to take them.</p>
<p>also, you can take up to three subject tests at once, so you would only need to schedule two sittings for the test.</p>
<p>If you search on Google, I think you'll find a list of schools that don't require SATs (such as Bowdoin and Mount Holyoke).</p>
<p>There's way too much sarcasm on CC. Don't you guys agree???</p>
<p>Many schools will accept the ACT in leu of SAT + SAT IIs. I would look into those schools if you don't want to bother taking SAT IIs.</p>

lol.... thats true</p>
<p>So does not taking them disqualify you?? Let's say I apply to UCSB with like a 2200+ SAT and 3.8 GPA, will they automatically disqualify me because of the SAT 2's?</p>
<p>probably not.... but they want to see academically qualified students</p>
