<p>Hey, while looking through the Collegeboard website I stumbled upon the "SAT Subject Tests". Can anyone explain to me what is the purpose/importance of this? And how can it help me in my college admission?</p>
<p>TY!</p>
<p>Like all standardized tests, it determines our human worth to colleges.</p>
<p>So, is it worth doing it?</p>
<p>it depends on where ur applying. some colleges require it, some recommend it, some wont take it.</p>
<p>OK. I wouldn't be applying to the "HYPS" schools since they are very expensive for international students, and little financial aids are given.</p>
<p>Currently (public) school with excellent geoscience departments from this</a> list interest me. Worth doing for them? (I'm considering Math and Physics subject tests)</p>
<p>And thank you Kevin! You've been a great help.</p>
<p>hey U of Minnesota! thats my home town school yaya. U of M doesn't require nor take any subject tests. I dont really know about the other schools. Cornell, if u want to go into engineering u will need a science and a math.</p>
<p>The public schools on that list are also top schools ranked with private schools in many other fields too. If you have your eyes on those schools, definitely take them.</p>
