SAT IIs

<p>Are subject tests only required if you are submitting the SAT? I just got my Dec scores back and got a 2260, but I still only want to turn in my ACT (35). Do I still have to submit my subject tests?</p>

<p>What school are you asking about? Everyone has a slightly different policy concerning test score requirements…</p>

<p>Yale is one of the only schools I know that allows you to submit an ACT w/ Writing in place of the SAT and two Subject tests.</p>

<p>UPenn does this as well.</p>

<p>Check with the schools you’re applying to make sure.</p>

<p>besides, sending in a 2260 wouldn’t hurt at all if you are required to.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Many selective schools do this, but not all. </p>

<p>The OP needs to check the college websites; for instance, Dartmouth requires 2 Subject tests whether you submit the SAT or ACT.</p>

<p>There is no single answer and nothing that substitutes for reading college websites for testing requirements and Score Choice policies.</p>

<p>Go here [Compass:</a> Admissions Requirements](<a href=“SAT Subject Test Requirements and Recommendations - Compass Education Group”>SAT Subject Test Requirements and Recommendations - Compass Education Group) for a list of colleges that require, recommend or consider SAT subject tests. In the required column you will see that for some of the colleges there is an * next to the required number of subject tests. The * next to the number means the college accepts the ACT in lieu of both the SAT and SAT subject tests. If there is no * next to the number in the required column, the college still requires subject tests even if you submit ACT.</p>

<p>^This is a great place to start, the introduction to the list states:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m not familiar with each school on the list, but I will note that the footnote for the * states:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>While most colleges let you choose submit any 2 Subject tests, sometimes colleges, or departments within a college (eg. Engineering), will require certain Subject tests to be sent. This information is detailed on the college website but may not be noted on compilations such as this; that’s why the individual college websites should always be consulted.</p>

<p>Thank you all for the info.</p>

<p>It looks like SAT + 2 subject tests meet requirement for most schools. ACT alone won’t cut it. SAT+ACT also don’t make it through most schools although it would meet the requirement for some schools. </p>

<p>So if you take SAT + 2 subject tests that gives you most bang for the buck. Do you agree?</p>

<p>I have not seen anywhere SAT subject tests grades or scores? You know we often hear SAT scores but have not seen or heard subject tests scores. Anyone knows?</p>
