<p>Is 3 subjects with 800 always better than 2 subjects with 800?</p>

<p>Um…yes. I would say quality over quantity but 3 800s is both better in terms of quality and quantity than 2 800s. I don’t really get why you asked that question…</p>

<p>Lol this is such a CC thread. </p>

<p>In general I would say yes, however you could argue some unfair cases:

  1. A person taking an SAT subject in their native language
  2. A person taking SAT subjects in similar subjects (MathII/MathI/Physics)</p>

<p>So like, a person from France taking the French Subject Test and Math I / Math II will most likely not impress an admissions committee as much as someone who takes two different subjects (Chemistry/US History…for example).</p>

<p>Yes (10 char)</p>

5

<p>agree with everything rob22 said!</p>

6

<p>3 is usually > 2</p>

<p>but yeah rob22 gives some exceptions</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say taking Math and Physics are taking “similar” subject tests, the Physics SAT II is far more conceptual (you really have to understand specific non-mathematic concepts in Physics to perform well on it). As far as Math I and II, obv, they are almost identical if both are taken.</p>
