<p>i'm applying to college of natural sciences and it says you can prove your math readiness by taking the subject tests, getting a 3 or higher on Calc AP test, or earning credit from college course.</p>
<p>I already got a 4 on Calc AB test...should i take the math subject tests?</p>
<p>i don't mind taking it if it would improve my chances a lot</p>
<p>I thought they were only used for placement, not for acceptance. You've already shown where you need for placement with your AP so I don't think you would need to take the subject tests. </p>
<p>Also, the subject tests don't test over calculus, so I think your AP score would override them anyway for placement purposes.</p>
<p>Since you did all right on AP calc, it is not needed for admission. If you are a math or science major don't bother. However, if you are likely to be going to Texas and are likely to be a liberal arts major, you should take an SAT II math test when it is convenient for you because (amazingly) Texas will give you three credits that count toward the math/science core credits for a reasonable SAT II math subject test score. (The 3 credits are for a class that is something like college level trig or geometry or something pre-calc like that.)</p>
<p>Texas will also give you four credits or eight credits that count in the math/science core for good AP calc scores. Check the credit by exam page.</p>
<p>I believe you can take an SAT II math 1 test during orientation but if you have a chance to do this some Saturday morning during high school, do it, because, frankly, UT orientation is so much fun you will not want to step away from the festivities of orientation to take a math test. [Based on what I have heard and based on my relatively minimal observation of incoming freshmen having quite a bit of fun in Jester (and beyond) at a four-day summer orientation session early this July.]</p>
<p>you seem to know a lot about UT...your children go there or somthin?</p>
