<p>Does anyone know what the policy is for the SAT II tests for the UC's for the class of 2006? With the new SATs, are 2 or 3 subject tests going to be required?</p>
<p>three tests are already required - when I applied (two years ago), they required one of the Math tests, the writing test, and one other of your choice. I doubt that will change.</p>

<p>The tests required have changed for the Class of 2006.</p>
<p>2 subject tests are required for Class of 2006 in different subject matters; e.g. One in U.S. history, one in Chemistry; you can't go 1 in biology and 1 in chemistry or 1 in French another in German. Two distinct areas. You may still take the Math IIC to fulfill this requirement, but the Math IC is no longer an option.</p>
<p>The new SAT I encompasses a writing section (so you don't have to take the Writing Subject tests anymore) and a more difficult math section. Literature is still available as an option.</p>
<p>If you place to take the ACT, you must take the new ACT with Writing in lieu of the new SAT I.</p>
<p>In sum:</p>
<p>New SAT I
2 SAT II Subject tests in two different subject/field areas</p>

<p>Thanks eiffelguy, that makes it much better for me.</p>
<p>I am very thankful I don't have to mess around with SAT's...two years in CCC hell is much better...wait a second...d'oh!</p>
<p>ah yes, i forgot about the new SAT I...</p>
<p>Yeah, new SAT I. I'm not a fan of it; a four hour test is way too long. With the 3 SAT IIs, I split them up into three testing sessions; a three-hour session is way too draining on me.</p>
