Does FSU require/request any subject area tests for admission?

<p>I am trying to research schools my D may be interested into see what SAT 2 (subject area tests) they may require and I don't see any mention of them on FSU's website. Do they not require or use the subject area tests for admissions? Is the same true of all the state schools in Florida?</p>

<p>I am looking for that info on several of the state schools? Are the test requirements the same when applying to the honors programs/colleges?</p>

<p>The Florida Public schools all require the same things for admissions. The SAT or ACT test (normal ones) and a highschool transcript of some sort (or college). Sometimes you have special circumstances were one is waived or changed for a special condition, but for the most part you need those two things if you are a high school graduate. </p>

<p>FSU does not require subject test, but it definitely looks better if you have it and can also count toward college credit hours if you receive a certain score.</p>

<p>Thank you! I hadn’t heard of the subject area tests counting for credit, but I suspect that my D would take the subject tests in subjects she would already be taking the AP or IB test in, so she may already get credit that way, but I will definitely look into it.</p>

<p>The only stipulation I know of for FSU is that if you submit ACT scores, you have to submit ACT Writing scores as well. </p>

<p>I don’t think FSU even considers SAT subject tests. I don’t think there’s really any benefit to having them, either. I’m pretty sure that the only credit you can get from ACT or SAT scores is listed on [this</a> page](<a href=“FSU Admissions | Error 404 page not found”>FSU Admissions | Error 404 page not found) and only mentions basically getting credit for 2 classes, and nothing about SAT Subject tests.</p>

<p>If your daughter is in IB, and is taking AP and IB classes, most SAT subject tests will be redundant even at colleges where she could get test credit. The tests might be a nice bragging point, or be helpful if you’re applying to one of the very top schools (Ivy), but for FSU they’re really unnecessary.</p>
