Do schools accept Math 1 and 2 as separate tests?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Georgetown asks for three. Is it acceptable to take Math 1 and Math 2? Thanks!</p>

2

<p>I doubt it. Math 2 is basically Math 1, except with more concepts/thinking. </p>

<p>You can always ask though</p>

3

<p>Every college that requires SAT IIs requires that they be in different subjects. Thus, submitting both math 1 and 2 would count as only one required test. Georgetown is no different.</p>

4

<p>will they disregard the app without three different??
and another question,do the 3 sat II have to be in different areas?i have math II phy and chem..should i take another in lang. or history??</p>

<p>Nope! Unfortunately colleges do not so state -- another instance of poor communication. No where on Georgetown's website do they say do not take M1 & M2 as part of the three required tests. Indeed, they say take three subject tests of your "choice".</p>

<p>In concept Drusba is correct, however. Yes you can submit two maths of the three, but expect a poor admissions result bcos everyone else WILL submit three tests in different disciplines. Moreover, unless applying to an engineering (or other science) program, you should always submit one math-science and one humanities-lit score to demonstrate breadth. </p>

<p>Even the only kids accepted at MIT from our HS over the past few years, for example, had high history-lit scores -- the math-science only 800's were shut out.</p>

<p>Actually Georgetown no longer states a requirement for separate subjects because it no longer actually requires SAT IIs for admission -- it simply states that it prefers receiving them. An application to Georgetown will be considered even if you submit no SAT IIs. </p>

<p>And to question above, math, physics, chemistry, biology are considered four different subjects.</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>GU only accepts the SAT/ACT w/o Subject Tests for EA candidates. All others, ...."whether they submit scores from the SAT or ACT, are requested to submit scores from three SAT Subject Tests of their choice." Now I guess that one could argue that "requested" does not necessarily mean required, but their on campus info session last summer made it clear that Subject Tests are a significant portion of the RD app.</p>

<p>depends on the school, unless they say its not acceptable, i dont see why not.
i have chem, math 1 and math 2, and i applied to H and P with those. hopefully the rest of my app will make up for any part of that decision they dont like.</p>

<p>Good luck with HP. But, I'll leave you with a comment from Harvard's website: </p>

We are often asked why we still require three SAT Subject Tests now that the SAT includes writing. The short answer is twofold: (1) more information is always helpful in admission and (2) we hope to encourage more of America's and the world's best students to challenge themselves broadly.

<p>well hopefully the evidence from my transcript that shows that i took advantage of a variety of courses will make up for this. otherwise, id rather get into columbia or yale anyways haha :)</p>
