Do you have to Take SAT II's to get into Ivies?

Test Preparation

<p>Do you have to take SAT II's? (i.e. Latin, US History...)?</p>

<p>To get into Ivies?</p>

2

<p>Yes. 10char</p>

3

<p>…Boo…
How many? If you take Math I and Math II do they both count as 2 if 2 are required?</p>

4

<p>You definitely should not submit both as two. You should take at least three to submit: a history, a science, and a math (preferably math II)</p>

5

<p>Usually not. The ones I saw require one math and other subject like science.</p>

6

<p>I depends. look at all ivies your applying to (websites). and sometimes they will tell you which subject tests they want u to take. pick the most commonly required tests and take them.</p>

<p>sd6 is right. usually they want a science, math (2 is easiest), and language or history or literature</p>

7

<p>yes… at least 2, but the most 3</p>

8

<p>Some accept either the SAT + SAT II OR the ACT. Depends really.</p>

9

<p>Yale, Brown and Penn accept the ACT in lieu of both the SAT and SAT IIs so you can possibly get into those without SAT IIs. Harvard and Princeton require 3 SAT IIs, the rest of the ivies 2 (except for the ACT exception to it for Yale, Brown and Penn). They require the SAT IIs to be in different subject matters and thus your Math I and Math II would count as only one test. None requires a math or science with the exception possibly for engineering and science applicants.</p>

10

<p>I recommend</p>

<p>1 math (math 2 preferably)
1 science
1 humanities (language, history, lit)</p>

<p>It’ll show you can excel in a variety of fields, and will satisfy any admissions requirement.</p>

11

<p>^Ya same recommendation. Although if you are like humanities oriented, you might want to take one language + one history + one science/math.</p>

12

<p>

</p>

<p>Falsity, Math I is easier. Math I and Math II don’t count as two separate tests (when submitted together) because Math II is just Math I with some extra stuff tossed in.</p>

<p>If by “easier” you mean better possibility of a higher score, then no. Math 2’s curve is so much more generous that it’s easier to get 800. Math 1 may cover less material (which I don’t think makes it any significantly easier), but the curve is harsher.</p>

<p>math 1 is known to have a killer curve.</p>
