<p>For colleges that make the SAT Subject II tests optional, should kids who take the ACT+Writing take it?
Or does "optional" mean that its the subject tests are directed towards SAT test takers?</p>
<p>It depends on the school. Some school would accept ACT in lieu of SAT1+2SAT2. Around a dozen school still wants SAT2 disregarding you are submitting ACT or SAT1 score. Other schools does not require SAT2 at all. Nevertheless, I would suggest to take SAT2 for those highly competitive schools even they just recommend it.</p>
