Does taking more SAT Subject Tests help in the admission process?

<p>I will be applying to colleges this fall. I took three SAT Subject Tests last year and got the following scores: Maths 2c 800, Chemistry 800 and Physics 790. I was thinking to take the SAT World History test this December. Since my school didn't teach world history, I thought taking the test would show my interest in this field and my general knowledge. Do you people think taking this test will help me, also considering that I am an international applicant??</p>

<p>Colleges that require SAT IIs require two and majority of those use highest two for admission if you submit more than two. Some, such as Harvard and Princeton, which require two, will consider any sent including considering lower scores against you. Two that recommend SAT IIs recommend three, Georgetown and Johns Hopkins. Most that “recommend” rather than require SAT IIs will consider any sent even if they recommend two, but again that includes considering lower scores against you. You have three very high scores. That is enough for any college. Adding another high score won’t mean much so why risk the possibility of a low score that could be used against you? Based on the tests you have taken I am assuming you will likely be applying for engineering or science and for those you are more than good already for test scores and adding a fourth in history won’t mean much.</p>
