<p>I took the US history sat II in january. Does Ut austin care I took it or not.</p>
<p>sat 2’s only matter in whether you get accepted to UT or not. it can’t help you place out of any classes or get you credit (unless it’s the math sat 2). so if you’re already accepted, then don’t worry about.</p>
<p>some foreign language sat II’s can be used to earn credit at ut as well as the sat II physics subject test. for the sat II physics, you need at least a 600 to be granted 8 credit hours i think (two semesters worth of basic algebraic physics and one lab). those are the same credits you would get at ut by getting a 3 or above on the ap physics b exam.</p>
<p>yea, texan’s right, my bad. you can get credit on the german, korean, math, and physics subject tests. no credit for the history test though, sorry.</p>
<p>well thats just great.</p>
<p>I’ve heard high school physics isn’t enough to pass the SAT II Physics test. It that true? What else do you need to know for it?</p>
<p>Math I = 520+</p>
<p>Math II = 530+</p>
<p>Will get you the prereq for Calculus M408C.</p>
<p>Hmm, the above is what Admissions told me but that’s not right according to the link. It must be who you talk to and on what day and if they are having a good hair day.</p>

<p>nunya, If you took an honors physics class you should be able to get a 600 oh the Physics SAT II. You don’t need AP for that. Just look at a practice test and see how well what it covers aligns with what your class covered. (This is a very good deal for liberal arts majors.)</p>
<p>from what i heard about the sat subject test in physics, it is not too difficult at all. apparently the number of questions you need to get right are not that many to earn at least a 600, because it is based on a bell curve. like, i think you can get several wrong and still earn a high score. i knew a person who got at least a 600 on it without studying at all. but, he had taken a year of pre-ap physics and was half way through ap physics b when he took the sat subject test. he was also a very studious person in class, so i guess that’s why he didn’t really need to study for the subject test.</p>
<p>regardless, in my opinion, it is a good deal to get a credit through the sat subject in physics. personally, i think that if anyone is taking an ap physics b class, it would be wiser to take the sat subject test in may than to take the actual ap exam; they both grant you the same credit at ut. this is because the subject test is only an hour and only multiple choice, while the ap exam is three hours long containing both multiple choice and an extensive free-response section covering approximately everything in the official curriculum for the class. </p>
<p>the only reason not to take it is if you’re an engineering major like me (the credit for basic, algebraic physics is not a requirement) or any science major that does not require it.</p>
