SAT II Subjects?

Applying to College
1

<p>For higher selectivity colleges, are you "supposed" to take a humanities and language SATII? On their websites, they say "any two are required" Sometimes any 3 are "recommended," but is it ever necessary to take one humanities subject test, one math test, and one science test? I have 2 sciences and one math (level 2). I figured that a 5 on an AP Language test would cover that aspect--since on the Common Application, they ask you to report SAT II tests with AP tests. </p>

<p>People have told me that simply taking another SAT II doesn't really prove too much, and I thought it would be ok to pass up an SAT II Language test since I did well on the AP test. I saved some time and money. </p>

<p>Is this bad? Do I "need" a math, science, and humanities subject test?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>You really do not need subject tests in different areas so don’t worry about it! What I experienced was that colleges don’t really care about subject tests as far as you have decent scores on them. For instance, I got into Georgetown with the two Math subject tests (level I and level II) counting as two different tests!</p>
