How do you know which tests do you need??

<p>i looked at the collegeboard list for colleges, and for colleges like UC Berkeley all they say is if you take math you need to take the IIC. and some like UPenn and Stanford don't even mention how many you need at all. How do I know how many/ which ones i need? Thanks!</p>

<p>You look on the CB site and it says how many you need. Your best bet is to visit the school’s website, however for weird exceptions like the UC’s policy. I can’t think of any schools that only require only one test and I can only think of two colleges that require three: Harvard and Princeton, so make sure you take at least two in different areas. </p>

<p>For UCB, make sure that you take two tests in different areas. In other words don’t take Chem and Bio (two sciences)- instead, take Bio and Math II.</p>

<p>Websites for you:
UPenn

Freshman applicants must take the SAT Reasoning Test and two SAT Subject Tests. The American College Test with Writing, may be used in lieu of the SAT Reasoning Test and two SAT Subject Tests.

<p>Stanford

We recommend (but do not require) that you submit official results of at least two SAT Subject Tests, as these additional scores often assist us in our evaluation process. You are welcome to submit any and all SAT Subject Tests you have completed. We do not have a preference for the specific SAT Subject Tests you elect to take. However, if you elect to take a math test, we do prefer to see the Math Level 2 test if you feel that your math background has adequately prepared you for this test.

<p>UC Berkeley

Two SAT Subject Tests.
These must be in two different areas, chosen from the following: English, history and social studies, mathematics (Level 2 only), science or language other than English.
