<p>I don't know where you got your information ... in fact, I'm not sure what you meant.</p>
<p>With the new SAT I, few universities require 3 subject tests this year (only exceptions I know are HYP, JHU and Northwestern). Testing for more subjects won't do you much good especially if the subjects are in the same category, i.e., math and sciences.</p>
<p>If you are looking at data from last year, you should realize that one of the subject was writing so the average would be a bit lower.</p>
<p>All I'm telling you is based on the students I've seen over here. The science students applying to Ivies routinely scored 750 or better on Math L2, Physics and Chemistry. These are the students you are competing with.</p>
