<p>Bill: Check with the schools that you are applying to. People are very helpful in admissions offices. There is a lot of confusion among students now as to which schools still require 3 SAT IIs now that writing is part of the SAT I, so I would call each and every admisisons office before you make your decision about which tests to take. Regarding Math Ic or IIc... some schools (like the UC schools for instance <a href="http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/examination_reqs.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/examination_reqs.html</a>) no longer accept Math Ic. I believe they are the only case where this is the policy. I noticed in a previous post of yours that you are interested in USC. As you know they are not part of the UC system. My only concern is that you might be competing against other Californian students that did take Math IIc. I would ask your guidance counselor for advice when you start school in the fall.</p>
