<p>Cornell CAS requires two subject tests. </p>
<p>Do Math Level I and Math Level II count as two subject tests?</p>
<p>They technically are 2 different tests, but most people wouldn’t take math I if they took math II. If you are applying to CAS, I would suggest for you to take an humanities subject test - Literature, language, history.</p>
<p>Do you know if Cornell views these two as separate subject tests?</p>
<p>By submitting math I and math II won’t help your application.</p>
<p>Like the above posters have said, I would not recommend sending both math tests. I took them both then just sent my highest score from one test; I also took lit, bio and physics and sent the top scores of those three.</p>
<p>You really don’t want to send both math subject tests. Take another test. I can’t imagine any school looking upon that favorably.</p>
<p>If your major has anything to do with math or science, forget about taking Math I. Only Math II will be taken seriously. I agree with everyone else saying it won’t help you to take both.</p>
<p>Its unncecessary but I don’t think it’ll harm you. My friend submitted them both (800s) just to show his passion for math. His essay topics were on math olympiads.</p>

<p>Engineering Alum. I submitted Math I and Physics (750,760). For what it’s worth apparently my Math I wasn’t entirely dismissed. But I do agree that Math II is more difficult and demonstrates math aptitude better. </p>
<p>They do count as 2 tests but depending on what you intend on majoring in, I think the SAT II tests are opportunities to demonstrate BREADTH of your academic ability especially if you have an intended major. </p>
<p>I can’t really say for sure that it’d be worthless if you submitted math 1 and 2 if you intended on english major, but that doesn’t seem to make sense if you did. I would think that that can’t possibly help you.</p>
<p>I’ve taken Biology and Math I, and plan on taking Math II this November. I would take a humanities subject test, but I just don’t think I can do well in any. </p>
<p>My intended major is Government, but the admissions website clearly says that ANY two subject tests are required.</p>
<p>I mean, in the grand scheme of things, will sending only Math I and II prevent you from getting in? Probably not. But do you want to have that mindset when you’re applying to schools? Most likely not. You should try to do everything you can do to get in, and even if that means you have to send a <700 or so score in another subject, then so be it. Remember, SAT IIs are not the be all-end all for your application, and I doubt they would be the determining factor, but I really don’t think Cornell would look favorably upon sending both tests. Like everyone else said above, they are seen as one test.</p>
<p>
Really?! With so many applicants, they are looking for reasons to eliminate as many applicants as possible. The way to look at it is YOU have worked so hard in high school, do YOU want to let SAT IIs be the reason to make you less competitive.</p>
<p>My kid’s private GC told her to take 3 SAT IIs - math, science and literature (some school required 3 SAT IIs). She would then be covered for any school she wanted to apply to. The best time to take SAT IIs is of course right after one has taken the relevant course, which could be as early as freshman year.</p>
<p>Ok thanks guys. I’ve decided to take literature and world history</p>
<p>Literature is one of the hardest SAT IIs to do well. Make sure you do practice before hand. As a government major, you wouldn’t be credible without one of those tests.</p>
<p>If I take my sat subject tests on November, will Cornell admissions receive my scores in time for ED?</p>
<p>And @oldfort, would you say that literature is harder than world history or vice versa?</p>
<p>It really depends on your school’s curriculum. The only way to know is by taking few practice tests.</p>
<p>If I take my sat subject tests on November, will Cornell admissions receive my scores in time for ED?</p>
<p>PS @oldfort, I took a College Board practice test, and I got a 740, but it was only because I gave myself an extra 15 minutes to finish the test… Do you know any other ways to prepare for this test?</p>
<p>Most colleges list the last SAT administration they will accept for the admissions cycle. Look on-line. If you don’t find it, call admissions. </p>
<p>The usual problem is that you don’t have time to look over the November test result before ordering it to be sent for ED, it has to go directly (requested on test day) to make the tight deadline.</p>
<p>I would email Cornell about the Nov tests. I remember one year Nov was too late, and another year it was fine. The only way to prepare for it is to do as many practice tests as possible and do it within the time frame. My suggestion would be not to take any test you are not certain of because Cornell will see all scores. Cornell does not do score choice.</p>
