<p>Thanks for your discussion, my son SAT Biology 750 in 9th grade, Chemistry 750, Chinese 790 and World History 790 in 10th grade. Now he wants take more SAT II and hopes to get 1-2 800. </p>
<p>Following is come from Columbia’s policy, do you think it will be good or bad for my son taking more SAT II of English Literature and Math II?</p>
<hr>
<p>Standardized tests are required for admission according to the following guidelines; all test scores must be submitted directly to Columbia by the testing agency. Please note that Columbia requires that students submit scores from all test dates. </p>
<p>SAT</p>
<p>The SAT consists of three sections, each graded on an 800-point scale; if you take the test more than once, you will be evaluated on the highest score you receive in any individual section. </p>
<p>SAT Subject Tests</p>
<p>In addition to either the SAT or ACT, you must also take two SAT Subject Tests. For Columbia College, you may take any two; for Columbia Engineering, you must take any mathematics test and either Physics or Chemistry. Students must submit all SAT Subject Test scores from all test dates. </p>
<p>Columbia’s Testing Policy for Score Choice</p>
<p>Columbia has always expected applicants to report all required standardized testing for which they have sat and will continue to do so for 2009-2010.The application review process for Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science is rooted in the belief that students are dynamic, multi-faceted individuals who cannot be defined by any single factor to determine their suitability for admission. When evaluating applicants, we consider only the highest testing results reported from individual sections of the SAT (or the highest Composite on the ACT), and the two highest required SAT Subject Tests, always seeking to give students the greatest opportunity to showcase their academic talents and hoping to make the testing experience as stress-free as possible. We encourage applicants to take those examinations no more than twice, but we do not penalize applicants for exceeding that recommendation. </p>
<p>Students should officially submit all scores from all sittings of the SAT and SAT Subject Tests. Students may submit only their highest ACT composite score officially and self-report other ACT scores by adding them to the Additional Information section of the application. While the College Board sends a cumulative record of all testing for one fee, the ACT requires separate fees for each test date; we do not want ACT takers to incur greater costs, so applicants may officially report only their highest ACT Composite (with subscores) and self-report all other ACT scores.</p>
