<p>I was looking at the Yale admissions site and was kind of confused about if it was required to submit SAT II scores. The way I read it, it sound like if you submitted the SAT scores, it was required, but not if you submitted ACT scores. Could anyone help with this? I know most of the Ivies require SAT II's, so I was just wondering.</p>
<p>Also, would you recommend taking both tests (ACT/SAT)?</p>
<p>you have score choice with SATs and ACTs if you are not a senior this year. So...take everything! Prepare because the two exams are paced differently and the SAT is more about reasoning/tricky..while the ACT is more about knowledge/speed/stamina.</p>
<p>figure out how you perform...my best advice from my son's error..is don't skip the Writing on the ACT...he did fantastic on the ACT but didn't do writing because he had aced the SAT writing section....so he had to submit both exams at all his colleges and hope they looked wholistically at all his exams...MISTAKE. we don't get much guidance counseling on these matters in a large urban public high school...</p>
<p>SATIIs are commonly used for language placement in public and private colleges..so consider taking them anyway. Skipping a unit of foreign language in a private college puts 5000 in your pocket to spend on another course towards your major, minor or double major.</p>

<p>Just a point of clarification...Apparently Yale will not allow SAT score reporting choice. See the following article...</p>
<p>ahh..hjnmom is ever so right.</p>
<p>however, the odds of getting into Yale will remain SLIM...so think broadly. Obviously, Yale must find ways to distinguish a huge pool of on paper Equals...and they need information. Many schools will accept score choice.</p>
<p>ggxc955, you are reading correctly: if you take the ACT with writing, you are not required to submit the (otherwise) minimum two SAT subject tests.</p>
<p>However, if you do perform strongly on SAT subject tests, it cannot but help to submit them anyway.</p>
