<p>hello,
i live in india and am going to give my SAT reasoning test on june 2.however i have a small doubt whether i should also give physics and chemistry as additional subject test since i am interested in dong a undergrad in computer science or electroincs</p>
<p>For SAT 2, u r required to take Maths. Many colleges require only 2 subject test (Maths included) others require 3 subjects (Maths included). Very few don't require SAT 2.....</p>
<p>As you are heading for CS, it will be preferable to take Maths, Physics and/or Chemistry...</p>
<p>My best wishes for ur SATs...</p>

Except for engineering schools, most if not all colleges do NOT require the SAT II in math. And only very few colleges and universities require SAT IIs at all (less than 100 out of about 4000 colleges in the US). However, good SAT II scores will strengthen your application!</p>
<p>Different universities have different policies on the SAT Subject tests. Check with the universities you intend to apply to before registering for the tests.</p>
<p>Also, you can't take the SAT Reasoning test and the Subject tests on the same day. You'll need to register for the SAT IIs seperately.</p>
<p>This applies throughout your entire college application process. Take whatever you hear on CC with a massive grain of salt. You'll get good advice here, but you'll also get a lot of advice that is absolutely wrong. (SAT II Math being required being a good example). Each college will have an admissions site, that will be very informative, and is normally clear. Rely on that for all important information.</p>
<p>b@r!um: He's an Indian interested in computers. It's obvious that he's talking about engineering schools :)</p>
<p>For me, compter science does not translate to engineering school. Electronics on the other hand does. The SAT II Math is certainly a good a idea but not necessarily mandatory.</p>
<p>For Indians, it does.</p>
<p>thanks guys for ur kindful and informing replies, however i was wonderig whether it is possible to get a admission in a undergrad college like uc berkley or boston college with my SAT reasoning scor or can i give maths and physics as subject tests in nov and then apply for fall 2007</p>
<p>Ah, my mistake, I have stated that keeping in mind that he is heading for CS/CE...and in that case, Maths, Physics and/or Chemistry are preferable. Although u can choose any subject(s)...(I should have clarified it earlier..)..Further, he is an Indian, so, the above ones are the most general and most preferred choice(s)..</p>
<p>And as u may hav guessed by now, it's always preferable to check the uni's site in which u wish to apply..</p>
<p>November's fine. However, you really need to refine your college search and selection process completely. Boston College and Berkeley are completely different in terms of selectivity, requirements, atmosphere etc. Read a few of the threads in this forum, research the college admissions procedure for the colleges you're interested in, and then make a college list. Do this as soon as possible.</p>
<p>And, on further correction, in general, unis ''recommend'' to choose the SAT 2 subjects that demonstrate applicant's mastery of a specific area of study or convey their academic interests..(As on JHU's site)..</p>
<p>*Note that it will always be advisable to adhere to the informations provided on your Uni's site..</p>
<p>The SAT Reasoning Test and SAT Subject tests are quite separate. While not all colleges require the SAT Subject tests for admission, many of the more selective ones will require you take at least 2. Some schools even require 3.</p>
<p>I would advise you to visit the websites of the schools you are considering, and look up their testing requirements. Some - like MIT - require specific subject tests...in MIT's case, one in Math and one in science.</p>
<p>Good luck :)</p>
