More than three subject tests??

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm considering taking more than three subject tests since I figure I can do well on them. I'm planning on taking Chem, US H, & Math II in October, and potentially Bio and Physics in Nov. &lt;/p>

<p>Is there any added benefit to taking more than the required 3 subject test? Assuming I can do well in them...</p>

<p>I know some people are going to say that blah blah, some schools only look at three, and also that I should use my time in otherwise, but I really don't have much else to do this summer and I do enjoy learning. </p>

<p>So what's your thoughts CC?</p>

<p>No, no advantage. Just take three you will score best in. If you really enjoying learning, study 3 subjects hard and get 3 800’s.</p>

<p>There was a thread on this a while ago</p>

<p>But its a good thing to bring up because I was wondering the same thing :slight_smile: Any more opinions?</p>

<p>thanks for providing the link. I searched the thread before I posted but nothing came up :confused: lol</p>

<p>I have the time and not much better to do some I’m considering going for it…although I do have a good chunk of time until I really have to decide. </p>

<p>What subjects are you considering testing in?</p>

<p>I agree, take more than three to find your best two or three scores (depending on where you’re applying).
That’s what I’m doing</p>

<p>I agree that it would be fine to take more than 3 to find your highest scoring subjects, but to take more than 3 when you already have good scores is unnecessary. The most any college requires is 3 (assuming you’re not home-schooled) and I doubt it would give you any advantage to take more than 3 (just like taking both the SAT and ACT wouldn’t give you an advantage).</p>

<p>Well, the advantage you get is diminishing from your fourth test onwards but personally I’d encourage you to take it if you can use the chance to say something about yourself. For example, tons of people here in Singapore take Math, Chem, Physics and get 800 x 3 on them. However, distinguishing yourself from that crowd with a decent World History score for example, would definitely help. the same cannot be said however for someone who has 800s in M,C and P and chooses to do Math L1 (if he had previously done L2, for example) just for an additional solid score.</p>
